We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
An Efficient Shift-and-Stack Algorithm Applied to Detection Catalogs
Steven Stetzler, Mario JuriÄ, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +22
The boundary of solar system object discovery lies in detecting its faintest members. However, their discovery in detection catalogs from imaging surveys is fundamentally limited b…
A Pan-STARRS Search for Distant Planets: Part 1
Matthew J. Holman, Kevin J. Napier, Matthew J. Payne +1
We present a search for distant planets in Pan-STARRS1. We calibrated our search by injecting an isotropic control population of synthetic detections into Pan-STARRS1 source catalo…
A Well-Characterized Survey for Centaurs in Pan-STARRS1
Jacob A. Kurlander, Matthew J. Holman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +3
To prepare for the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time, we develop methods for quantifying the selection function of a wide-field survey as a function of all six orbital param…
