Detection of Time Lags Between Quasar Continuum Emission Bands based on Pan-STARRS Light-curves

Yan-Fei Jiang, Paul J. Green, Jenny E. Greene +21

We study the time lags between the continuum emission of quasars at different wavelengths, based on more than four years of multi-band (, , , ) light-curves in the Pan-…

The GALEX Time Domain Survey. II. Wavelength-Dependent Variability of Active Galactic Nuclei in the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey

T. Hung, S. Gezari, D. O. Jones +12

We analyze the wavelength-dependent variability of a sample of spectroscopically confirmed active galactic nuclei (AGN) selected from near-UV () variable sources in the GALEX…

A Systematic Search for Periodically Varying Quasars in Pan-STARRS1: An Extended Baseline Test in Medium Deep Survey Field MD09

T. Liu, S. Gezari, W. Burgett +10

We present a systematic search for periodically varying quasars and supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidates in the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Medium Deep Survey's MD09 field. From…

Spectral analysis of four 'hypervariable' AGN: a microneedle in the haystack?

A. Bruce, A. Lawrence, C. MacLeod +13

We analyze four extreme active galactic nuclei (AGN) transients to explore the possibility that they are caused by rare, high-amplitude microlensing events. These previously unknow…

Zooming In on the Progenitors of Superluminous Supernovae With the HST

R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +25

We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) rest-frame ultraviolet imaging of the host galaxies of 16 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), including 11 events from the Pan-S…

Rapidly-Evolving and Luminous Transients from Pan-STARRS1

M. R. Drout, R. Chornock, A. M. Soderberg +33

In the past decade, several rapidly-evolving transients have been discovered whose timescales and luminosities are not easily explained by traditional supernovae (SN) models. The s…
