Perseus I: a distant satellite dwarf galaxy of Andromeda (2013)
Journal Article
Martin, N., Schlafly, E., Slater, C., Bernard, E., Rix, H., Bell, E., …Waters, C. (2013). Perseus I: a distant satellite dwarf galaxy of Andromeda. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 779(1), Article L10. https://doi.org/10.1088/2041-8205/779/1/l10

We present the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Perseus I/Andromeda XXXIII, found in the vicinity of Andromeda (M31) in stacked imaging data from the Pan-STARRS1 3π survey. Located 27fdg9 away from M31, Perseus I has a heliocentric distance of 785 ±... Read More about Perseus I: a distant satellite dwarf galaxy of Andromeda.

A Search for Fast Optical Transients in the Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey: M-Dwarf Flares, Asteroids, Limits on Extragalactic Rates, and Implications for LSST (2013)
Journal Article
Berger, E., Leibler, C., Chornock, R., Rest, A., Foley, R., Soderberg, A., …Tonry, J. (2013). A Search for Fast Optical Transients in the Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey: M-Dwarf Flares, Asteroids, Limits on Extragalactic Rates, and Implications for LSST. Astrophysical Journal, 779(1), Article 18. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/779/1/18

We present a search for fast optical transients (τ ~ 0.5 hr-1 day) using repeated observations of the Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey (PS1/MDS) fields. Our search takes advantage of the consecutive g P1 r P1 observations (16.5 minutes in each filter),...

The Extremely Red, Young L Dwarf PSO J318.5338-22.8603: A Free-Floating Planetary-Mass Analog to Directly Imaged Young Gas-Giant Planets (2013)
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

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.

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...
