A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies
E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25
Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…
The Geometry of Sagittarius Stream from Pan-STARRS1 3 RR Lyrae
Nina Hernitschek, Branimir Sesar, Hans-Walter Rix +11
We present a comprehensive and precise description of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stellar stream's 3D geometry as traced by its old stellar population. This analysis draws on the sample…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
CO-Driven Activity in Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS)
Karen J. Meech, Jan T. Kleyna, Olivier Hainaut +12
Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) was discovered by the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Survey on 2017 May 21 at a distance 16.09 au from the Sun, the second most distant discovery of an active comet.…
Physical properties of 15 quasars at
C. Mazzucchelli, E. Bañados, B. P. Venemans +21
Quasars are galaxies hosting accreting supermassive black holes; due to their brightness, they are unique probes of the early universe. To date, only few quasars have been reported…
Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey
R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +31
We present light curves and classification spectra of 17 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey (PS1 MDS). Our sample contains all o…
