Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae and Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts Have Similar Host Galaxies
R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +27
We present optical spectroscopy and optical/near-IR photometry of 31 host galaxies of hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), including 15 events from the Pan-STARRS1 Mediu…
Detection of an outburst one year prior to the explosion of SN 2011ht
M. Fraser, M. Magee, R. Kotak +18
Using imaging from the Pan-STARRS1 survey, we identify a precursor outburst at epochs 287 and 170 days prior to the reported explosion of the purported Type IIn supernova (SN) 2011…
An approach to the analysis of SDSS spectroscopic outliers based on Self-Organizing Maps
D. Fustes, M. Manteiga, C. Dafonte +5
Aims. A new method is applied to the segmentation, and further analysis of the outliers resulting from the classification of astronomical objects in large databases is discussed. T…
The Gaia astrophysical parameters inference system (Apsis). Pre-launch description
C. A. L. Bailer-Jones, R. Andrae, B. Arcay +46
The Gaia satellite will survey the entire celestial sphere down to 20th magnitude, obtaining astrometry, photometry, and low resolution spectrophotometry on one billion astronomica…
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…
