Journal Article
Liu, M., Magnier, E., Deacon, N., Allers, K., Dupuy, T., Kotson, M., …Wainscoat, R. (2013). The Extremely Red, Young L Dwarf PSO J318.5338-22.8603: A Free-Floating Planetary-Mass Analog to Directly Imaged Young Gas-Giant Planets. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 777(2), Article L20. https://doi.org/10.1088/2041-8205/777/2/l20

We have discovered using Pan-STARRS1 an extremely red late-L dwarf, which has (J – K)MKO = 2.78 and (J – K)2MASS = 2.84, making it the reddest known field dwarf and second only to 2MASS J1207–39b among substellar companions. Near-IR spectroscopy show... Read More about The Extremely Red, Young L Dwarf PSO J318.5338-22.8603: A Free-Floating Planetary-Mass Analog to Directly Imaged Young Gas-Giant Planets.

The Pan-STARRS1 Small Area Survey 2 (2013)
Journal Article
Metcalfe, N., Farrow, D., Cole, S., Draper, P., Norberg, P., Burgett, W., …Waters, C. (2013). The Pan-STARRS1 Small Area Survey 2. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 435(3), 1825-1839. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt1343

The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System 1 (Pan-STARRS1) survey is acquiring multi-epoch imaging in five bands (gP1, rP1, iP1, zP1, yP1) over the entire sky north of declination −30° (the 3π survey). In 2011 July a test area of about... Read More about The Pan-STARRS1 Small Area Survey 2.

Super-Luminous Type Ic Supernovae: Catching a Magnetar by the Tail (2013)
Journal Article
Inserra, C., Smartt, S., Jerkstrand, A., Valenti, S., Fraser, M., Wright, D., …Young, D. (2013). Super-Luminous Type Ic Supernovae: Catching a Magnetar by the Tail. Astrophysical Journal, 770(2), Article 128. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/770/2/128

We report extensive observational data for five of the lowest redshift Super-Luminous Type Ic Supernovae (SL-SNe Ic) discovered to date, namely, PTF10hgi, SN2011ke, PTF11rks, SN2011kf, and SN2012il. Photometric imaging of the transients at +50 to +23... Read More about Super-Luminous Type Ic Supernovae: Catching a Magnetar by the Tail.

The VLT LBG Redshift Survey - III. The clustering and dynamics of Lyman-break galaxies at z~3 (2013)
Journal Article
Bielby, R., Hill, M., Shanks, T., Crighton, N., Infante, L., Bornancini, C., …Weilbacher, P. (2013). The VLT LBG Redshift Survey - III. The clustering and dynamics of Lyman-break galaxies at z~3. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 430(1), 425-449. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sts639

We present a catalogue of 2135 galaxy redshifts from the VLT LBG Redshift Survey (VLRS), a spectroscopic survey of z ≈ 3 galaxies in wide fields centred on background quasi-stellar objects. We have used deep optical imaging to select galaxies via the... Read More about The VLT LBG Redshift Survey - III. The clustering and dynamics of Lyman-break galaxies at z~3.

Sub-millimetre source identifications and the microjansky source population at 8.4 GHz in the William Herschel Deep Field (2013)
Journal Article
Heywood, I., Bielby, R., Hill, M., Metcalfe, N., Rawlings, S., Shanks, T., & Smirnov, O. (2013). Sub-millimetre source identifications and the microjansky source population at 8.4 GHz in the William Herschel Deep Field. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 428(2), 935-951. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sts046

Sub-millimetre observations of the William Herschel Deep Field (WHDF) using the Large Apex Bolometer Camera (LABOCA) revealed possible sub-mm counterparts for two X-ray-absorbed quasars. The primary aim here is to exploit Expanded Very Large Array (E...

ULTRA-BRIGHT OPTICAL TRANSIENTS ARE LINKED WITH TYPE Ic SUPERNOVAE (2010)
Journal Article
Pastorello, A., Smartt, S., Botticella, M., Maguire, K., Fraser, M., Smith, K., …Wynn-Williams, C. (2010). ULTRA-BRIGHT OPTICAL TRANSIENTS ARE LINKED WITH TYPE Ic SUPERNOVAE. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 724(1), L16-L21. https://doi.org/10.1088/2041-8205/724/1/l16

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 and SCP-06F6 in a deep Hubble pencil beam survey were followed by the...
