Characterizing crosstalk within the Pan-STARRS GPC1 camera
T. J. L. de Boer, M. E. Huber, E. A. Magnier +6
Using data from a year-long dedicated campaign to observe bright stars, we study the crosstalk channels present in the GPC1 camera. By analyzing these data, we construct a dataset…
Pan-STARRS PSF-Matching for Subtraction and Stacking
Paul A. Price, Eugene A. Magnier
We present the implementation and use of algorithms for matching point-spread functions (PSFs) within the Pan-STARRS Image Processing Pipeline (IPP). PSF-matching is an essential p…
SDSS-IV MaStar -- A Large and Comprehensive Empirical Stellar Spectral Library: First Release
Renbin Yan, Yanping Chen, Daniel Lazarz +45
We present the first release of the MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar), which is a large, well-calibrated, high-quality empirical library covering the wavelength range of 3,622-10,354A…
The Robo-AO-2 facility for rapid visible/near-infrared AO imaging and the demonstration of hybrid techniques
Christoph Baranec, Mark Chun, Donald Hall +23
We are building a next-generation laser adaptive optics system, Robo-AO-2, for the UH 2.2-m telescope that will deliver robotic, diffraction-limited observations at visible and nea…
Charge Diffusion Variations in Pan-STARRS\,1 CCDs
Eugene A. Magnier, J. L. Tonry, D. Finkbeiner +10
Thick back-illuminated deep-depletion CCDs have superior quantum efficiency over previous generations of thinned and traditional thick CCDs. As a result, they are being used for wi…
A transient search using combined human and machine classifications
Darryl E. Wright, Chris J. Lintott, Stephen J. Smartt +22
Large modern surveys require efficient review of data in order to find transient sources such as supernovae, and to distinguish such sources from artefacts and noise. Much effort h…
