Design and operation of the ATLAS Transient Science Server
K. W. Smith, S. J. Smartt, D. R. Young +19
The Asteroid Terrestrial impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) system consists of two 0.5m Schmidt telescopes with cameras covering 29 square degrees at plate scale of 1.86 arcsec per p…
PS18kh: A New Tidal Disruption Event with a Non-Axisymmetric Accretion Disk
T. W. -S. Holoien, M. E. Huber, B. J. Shappee +38
We present the discovery of PS18kh, a tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered at the center of SDSS J075654.53+341543.6 ( Mpc) by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients.…
A transient search using combined human and machine classifications
Darryl E. Wright, Chris J. Lintott, Stephen J. Smartt +22
Large modern surveys require efficient review of data in order to find transient sources such as supernovae, and to distinguish such sources from artefacts and noise. Much effort h…
Optical and ultraviolet spectroscopic analysis of SN 2011fe at late times
Brian Friesen, E. Baron, Jerod T. Parrent +16
We present optical spectra of the nearby Type Ia supernova SN 2011fe at 100, 205, 311, 349, and 578 days post-maximum light, as well as an ultraviolet spectrum obtained with Hubble…
A search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW151226
S. J. Smartt, K. C. Chambers, K. W. Smith +37
We present a search for an electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational wave source GW151226. Using the Pan-STARRS1 telescope we mapped out 290 square degrees in the optical i_…
Pan-STARRS and PESSTO search for an optical counterpart to the LIGO gravitational wave source GW150914
S. J. Smartt, K. C. Chambers, K. W. Smith +48
We searched for an optical counterpart to the first gravitational wave source discovered by LIGO (GW150914), using a combination of the Pan-STARRS1 wide-field telescope and the PES…
