Mapping the Extinction Curve in 3D: Structure on Kiloparsec Scales
E. F. Schlafly, J. E. G. Peek, D. P. Finkbeiner +1
Near-infrared spectroscopy from APOGEE and wide-field optical photometry from Pan-STARRS1 have recently made possible precise measurements of the shape of the extinction curve for…
Machine-Learned Identification of RR Lyrae Stars from Sparse, Multi-band Data: the PS1 Sample
Branimir Sesar, Nina Hernitschek, Sandra Mitrović +16
RR Lyrae stars may be the best practical tracers of Galactic halo (sub-)structure and kinematics. The PanSTARRS1 (PS1) survey offers multi-band, multi-epoch, precise photometr…
A Synoptic Map of Halo Substructures from the Pan-STARRS1 3π Survey
Edouard J. Bernard, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Edward F. Schlafly +18
We present a panoramic map of the entire Milky Way halo north of dec~-30 degrees (~30,000 deg^2), constructed by applying the matched-filter technique to the Pan-STARRS1 3Pi Survey…
The Pan-STARRS1 distant z>5.6 quasar survey: more than 100 quasars within the first Gyr of the universe
E. Bañados, B. P. Venemans, R. Decarli +33
Luminous quasars at z>5.6 can be studied in detail with the current generation of telescopes and provide us with unique information on the first gigayear of the universe. Thus far…
Mapping the Monoceros Ring in 3D with Pan-STARRS1
Eric Morganson, Blair Conn, Hans-Walter Rix +16
Using the Pan-STARRS1 survey, we derive limiting magnitude, spatial completeness and density maps that we use to probe the three dimensional structure and estimate the stellar mass…
Low Surface Brightness Imaging of the Magellanic System: Imprints of Tidal Interactions between the Clouds in the Stellar Periphery
Gurtina Besla, David Martinez-Delgado, Roeland P. van der Marel +5
We present deep optical images of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) using a low cost telephoto lens with a wide field of view to explore stellar substructure in t…
The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey: Understanding the Optically Variable Sky with SEQUELS in SDSS-III
John J. Ruan, Scott F. Anderson, Paul J. Green +27
The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS) is an SDSS-IV eBOSS subproject primarily aimed at obtaining identification spectra of ~220,000 optically-variable objects systematically…
