The Foundation Supernova Survey: Motivation, Design, Implementation, and First Data Release

Ryan J. Foley, Daniel Scolnic, Armin Rest +25

The Foundation Supernova Survey aims to provide a large, high-fidelity, homogeneous, and precisely-calibrated low-redshift Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample for cosmology. The calib…

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118

Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…

CO-Driven Activity in Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS)

Karen J. Meech, Jan T. Kleyna, Olivier Hainaut +12

Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) was discovered by the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Survey on 2017 May 21 at a distance 16.09 au from the Sun, the second most distant discovery of an active comet.…

Charge Diffusion Variations in Pan-STARRS\,1 CCDs

Eugene A. Magnier, J. L. Tonry, D. Finkbeiner +10

Thick back-illuminated deep-depletion CCDs have superior quantum efficiency over previous generations of thinned and traditional thick CCDs. As a result, they are being used for wi…

Measuring Dark Energy Properties with Photometrically Classified Pan-STARRS Supernovae. II. Cosmological Parameters

D. O. Jones, D. M. Scolnic, A. G. Riess +25

We use 1169 Pan-STARRS supernovae (SNe) and 195 low- () SNe Ia to measure cosmological parameters. Though most Pan-STARRS SNe lack spectroscopic classifications, in a p…

Distribution of shape elongations of main belt asteroids derived from Pan-STARRS1 photometry

H. Cibulková, H. Nortunen, J. Ďurech +10

Context. A lot of photometric data is produced by surveys such as Pan-STARRS, LONEOS, WISE or Catalina. These data are a rich source of information about the physical properties of…
