Photometric Classification of 2315 Pan-STARRS1 Supernovae with Superphot (2020)
Journal Article
Hosseinzadeh, G., Dauphin, F., Villar, V. A., Berger, E., Jones, D. O., Challis, P., …Waters, C. (2020). Photometric Classification of 2315 Pan-STARRS1 Supernovae with Superphot. Astrophysical Journal, 905(2), Article 93. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/abc42b

The classification of supernovae (SNe) and its impact on our understanding of explosion physics and progenitors have traditionally been based on the presence or absence of certain spectral features. However, current and upcoming wide-field time-domai... Read More about Photometric Classification of 2315 Pan-STARRS1 Supernovae with Superphot.

Pan-STARRS Pixel Analysis: Source Detection and Characterization (2020)
Journal Article

Pan-STARRS Photometric and Astrometric Calibration (2020)
Journal Article
Magnier, E. A., Schlafly, E. F., Finkbeiner, D. P., Tonry, J., Goldman, B., Röser, S., …Wainscoat, R. (2020). Pan-STARRS Photometric and Astrometric Calibration. Astrophysical Journal Supplement, 251(1), Article 6. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4365/abb82a

We present the details of the photometric and astrometric calibration of the Pan-STARRS1 3π Survey. The photometric goals were to reduce the systematic effects introduced by the camera and detectors, and to place all of the observations onto a photom...

The Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Science Consortium has carried out a set of imaging surveys using the 1.4 gigapixel GPC1 camera on the PS1 telescope. As this camera is composed of many individual electronic readouts and covers a very large field of view, great... Read More about Pan-STARRS Pixel Processing: Detrending, Warping, Stacking.

Cross-correlating Planck with VST ATLAS LRGs: a new test for the ISW effect in the Southern Hemisphere (2020)
Journal Article
Ansarinejad, B., Mackenzie, R., shanks, T., & Metcalfe, N. (2020). Cross-correlating Planck with VST ATLAS LRGs: a new test for the ISW effect in the Southern Hemisphere. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 493(4), 4830-4844. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa592

The Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect probes the late-time expansion history of the universe, offering direct constraints on dark energy. Here we present our measurements of the ISW signal at redshifts of z¯=0.35⁠, 0.55 and 0.68, using the cross-co...
