The Orbit and Size-Frequency Distribution of Long Period Comets Observed by Pan-STARRS1
Benjamin Boe, Robert Jedicke, Karen J. Meech +9
We introduce a new technique to estimate the comet nuclear size frequency distribution (SFD) that combines a cometary activity model with a survey simulation and apply it to 150 lo…
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…
PS1-13cbe: The Rapid "Turn on" of a Seyfert 1
Reza Katebi, Ryan Chornock, Edo Berger +11
We present a nuclear transient event, PS1-13cbe, that was first discovered in the Pan-STARRS1 survey in 2013. The outburst occurred in the nucleus of the galaxy SDSS J222153.87+003…
The White Dwarf Luminosity Functions from the Pan-STARRS 1 3π Steradian Survey
Marco C. Lam, Nigel C. Hambly, Nicholas Rowell +9
A large sample of white dwarfs is selected by both proper motion and colours from the Pan-STARRS 1 3π Steradian Survey Processing Version 2 to construct the White Dwarf Luminosity…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Sample Characterization
Yue Shen, Patrick B. Hall, Keith Horne +24
We present a detailed characterization of the 849 broad-line quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project. Our quasar sample covers a redshift…
Changing-Look Quasar Candidates: First Results from Follow-up Spectroscopy of Highly Optically Variable Quasars
Chelsea L. MacLeod, Paul J. Green, Scott F. Anderson +15
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) that show strong rest-frame optical/UV variability in their blue continuum and broad line emission are classified as "changing-look" AGN, or at higher…
