The Foundation Supernova Survey: Measuring Cosmological Parameters with Supernovae from a Single Telescope
D. O. Jones, D. M. Scolnic, R. J. Foley +27
Measurements of the dark energy equation-of-state parameter, , have been limited by uncertainty in the selection effects and photometric calibration of Type Ia supernova…
Measuring Dark Energy Properties with Photometrically Classified Pan-STARRS Supernovae. II. Cosmological Parameters
D. O. Jones, D. M. Scolnic, A. G. Riess +25
We use 1169 Pan-STARRS supernovae (SNe) and 195 low- () SNe Ia to measure cosmological parameters. Though most Pan-STARRS SNe lack spectroscopic classifications, in a p…
The Complete Light-curve Sample of Spectroscopically Confirmed Type Ia Supernovae from Pan-STARRS1 and Cosmological Constraints from The Combined Pantheon Sample
D. M. Scolnic, D. O. Jones, A. Rest +37
We present optical light curves, redshifts, and classifications for 365 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Medium Deep Surv…
A supernova distance to the anchor galaxy NGC 4258
J. Polshaw, R. Kotak, K. C. Chambers +8
The fortuitous occurrence of a type II-Plateau (IIP) supernova, SN 2014bc, in a galaxy for which distance estimates from a number of primary distance indicators are available provi…
PS1-12sk is a Peculiar Supernova From a He-rich Progenitor System in a Brightest Cluster Galaxy Environment
N. E. Sanders, A. M. Soderberg, R. J. Foley +29
We report on our discovery and observations of the Pan-STARRS1 supernova (SN) PS1-12sk, a transient with properties that indicate atypical star formation in its host galaxy cluster…
An ultraviolet-optical flare from the tidal disruption of a helium-rich stellar core
S. Gezari, R. Chornock, A. Rest +31
The flare of radiation from the tidal disruption and accretion of a star can be used as a marker for supermassive black holes that otherwise lie dormant and undetected in the centr…
