Ultra-bright optical transients are linked with type Ic supernovae
A. Pastorello, S. J. Smartt, M. T. Botticella +41
Recent searches by unbiased, wide-field surveys have uncovered a group of extremely luminous optical transients. The initial discoveries of SN 2005ap by the Texas Supernova Search…
GALEX and Pan-STARRS1 Discovery of SN IIP 2010aq: The First Few Days After Shock Breakout in a Red Supergiant Star
S. Gezari, A. Rest, M. E. Huber +34
We present the early UV and optical light curve of Type IIP supernova (SN) 2010aq at z=0.0862, and compare it to analytical models for thermal emission following SN shock breakout…
SN 2009kf : a UV bright type IIP supernova discovered with Pan-STARRS 1 and GALEX
M. T. Botticella, C. Trundle, A. Pastorello +43
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of a luminous type IIP Supernova 2009kf discovered by the Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1) survey and detected also by GALEX. The SN shows a…
Searching for sub-kilometer TNOs using Pan-STARRS video mode lightcurves: Preliminary study and evaluation using engineering data
J. -H. Wang, P. Protopapas, W. -P. Chen +6
We present a pre-survey study of using Pan-STARRS high sampling rate video mode guide star images to search for TNOs. With suitable selection of the guide stars within the Pan-STAR…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Technical Summary
D. G. York
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will provide the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and non- luminous matter in the Universe: a photometric…
A Proposed Method for Measuring the Electric Dipole Moment of the Neutron Using Acceleration in an Electric-Field Gradient and Ultracold Neutron Interferometry
M. S. Freedman, G. R. Ringo, T. W. Dombeck
The use of an ultracold neutron interferometer incorporating an electrostatic accelerator having a strong electric field gradient to accelerate neutrons by their possible electric…
