Pan-STARRS and PESSTO search for an optical counterpart to the LIGO gravitational wave source GW150914
S. J. Smartt, K. C. Chambers, K. W. Smith +48
We searched for an optical counterpart to the first gravitational wave source discovered by LIGO (GW150914), using a combination of the Pan-STARRS1 wide-field telescope and the PES…
Selecting superluminous supernovae in faint galaxies from the first year of the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey
M. McCrum, S. J. Smartt, A. Rest +36
The Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) survey has obtained imaging in 5 bands (grizy_P1) over 10 Medium Deep Survey (MDS) fields covering a total of 70 square degrees. This paper describes the sear…
Pan-STARRS1 Discovery of Two Ultra-Luminous Supernovae at z ~ 0.9
L. Chomiuk, R. Chornock, A. M. Soderberg +29
We present the discovery of two ultra-luminous supernovae (SNe) at z ~ 0.9 with the Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey. These SNe, PS1-10ky and PS1-10awh, are amongst the most luminous…
