The Cold Spot in the Cosmic Microwave Background: the Shadow of a Supervoid
István Szapudi, András Kovács, Benjamin R. Granett +14
Standard inflationary hot big bang cosmology predicts small fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) with isotropic Gaussian statistics. All measurements support the s…
Discovery of eight z ~ 6 quasars from Pan-STARRS1
E. Bañados, B. P. Venemans, E. Morganson +24
High-redshift quasars are currently the only probes of the growth of supermassive black holes and potential tracers of structure evolution at early cosmic time. Here we present our…
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…
Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +57
Super-luminous supernovae that radiate more than 10^44 ergs per second at their peak luminosity have recently been discovered in faint galaxies at redshifts of 0.1-4. Some evolve s…
An ultraviolet-optical flare from the tidal disruption of a helium-rich stellar core
S. Gezari, R. Chornock, A. Rest +31
The flare of radiation from the tidal disruption and accretion of a star can be used as a marker for supermassive black holes that otherwise lie dormant and undetected in the centr…
The Photometric Classification Server for Pan-STARRS1
R. P. Saglia, J. L. Tonry, R. Bender +20
The Pan-STARRS1 survey is obtaining multi-epoch imaging in 5 bands (gps rps ips zps yps) over the entire sky North of declination -30deg. We describe here the implementation of the…
