The VLT Survey Telescope ATLAS
T. Shanks, N. Metcalfe, B. Chehade +9
The VLT Survey Telescope (VST) ATLAS is an optical ugriz survey aiming to cover ~4700deg^2 of the Southern sky to similar depths as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). From reduce…
Two bright z > 6 quasars from VST ATLAS and a new method of optical plus mid-infra-red colour selection
A. C. Carnall, T. Shanks, B. Chehade +6
We present the discovery of two z > 6 quasars, selected as i band dropouts in the VST ATLAS survey. Our first quasar has redshift, z = 6.31 \pm 0.03, z band magnitude, z_AB = 19.63…
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…
Discovery of a cold stellar stream in the ATLAS DR1 data
S. E. Koposov, M. Irwin, V. Belokurov +5
We report the discovery of a narrow stellar stream crossing the constellations of Sculptor and Fornax in the Southern celestial hemisphere. The portion of the stream detected in th…
