Hypercalibration: A Pan-STARRS1-based recalibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Edward F. Schlafly, David J. Schlegel +15
We present a recalibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry with new flat fields and zero points derived from Pan-STARRS1 (PS1). Using PSF photometry of 60 million…
Finding, characterizing and classifying variable sources in multi-epoch sky surveys: QSOs and RR Lyrae in PS1 3 data
Nina Hernitschek, Edward F. Schlafly, Branimir Sesar +14
In area and depth, the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) 3 survey is unique among many-epoch, multi-band surveys and has enormous potential for all-sky identification of variable sources. PS1 h…
On Galactic density modeling in the presence of dust extinction
Jo Bovy, Hans-Walter Rix, Gregory M. Green +2
Inferences about the spatial density or phase-space structure of stellar populations in the Milky Way require a precise determination of the effective survey volume. The volume obs…
The stellar population structure of the Galactic disk
Jo Bovy, Hans-Walter Rix, Edward F. Schlafly +4
The spatial structure of stellar populations with different chemical abundances in the Milky Way contains a wealth of information on Galactic evolution over cosmic time. We use dat…
Supercal: Cross-Calibration of Multiple Photometric Systems to Improve Cosmological Measurements with Type Ia Supernovae
D. Scolnic, S. Casertano, A. G. Riess +16
Current cosmological analyses which use Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations combine SN samples to expand the redshift range beyond that of a single sample and increase the overa…
A Three-Dimensional Map of Milky-Way Dust
Gregory M. Green, Edward F. Schlafly, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +13
We present a three-dimensional map of interstellar dust reddening, covering three-quarters of the sky out to a distance of several kiloparsecs, based on Pan-STARRS 1 and 2MASS phot…
Sagittarius II, Draco II and Laevens 3: three new Milky Way satellites discovered in the Pan-STARRS 1 3pi Survey
Benjamin P. M. Laevens, Nicolas F. Martin, Edouard J. Bernard +17
We present the discovery of three new Milky Way satellites from our search for compact stellar overdensities in the photometric catalog of the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid…
The Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey: Variable Object Selection and Anticipated Results
Eric Morganson, Paul J. Green, Scott F. Anderson +37
We present the selection algorithm and anticipated results for the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS). TDSS is an SDSS-IV eBOSS subproject that will provide initial identifica…
A New Faint Milky Way Satellite Discovered in the Pan-STARRS1 3 pi Survey
Benjamin P. M. Laevens, Nicolas F. Martin, Rodrigo A. Ibata +21
We present the discovery of a faint Milky Way satellite, Laevens 2/Triangulum II, found in the Panoramic Survey Telescope And Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS 1) 3 pi imaging data…
Constraining the radio-loud fraction of quasars at z>5.5
E. Bañados, B. P. Venemans, E. Morganson +18
Radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei at z~2-4 are typically located in dense environments and their host galaxies are among the most massive systems at those redshifts, providing key…
A nearby M star with three transiting super-Earths discovered by K2
Ian J. M. Crossfield, Erik Petigura, Joshua Schlieder +24
Small, cool planets represent the typical end-products of planetary formation. Studying the archi- tectures of these systems, measuring planet masses and radii, and observing these…
The identification of z-dropouts in Pan-STARRS1: three quasars at 6.5<z<6.7
B. P. Venemans, E. Bañados, R. Decarli +30
Luminous distant quasars are unique probes of the high redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) and of the growth of massive galaxies and black holes in the early universe. Absorption d…
The Nature and Orbit of the Ophiuchus Stream
B. Sesar, J. Bovy, E. J. Bernard +20
The Ophiuchus stream is a recently discovered stellar tidal stream in the Milky Way. We present high-quality spectroscopic data for 14 stream member stars obtained using the Keck a…
