An updated Type II supernova Hubble diagram (2017)
Journal Article
Gall, E., Kotak, R., Leibundgut, B., Taubenberger, S., Hillebrandt, W., Kromer, M., …Waters, C. (2017). An updated Type II supernova Hubble diagram. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 611, Article A25. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201731271

We present photometry and spectroscopy of nine Type II-P/L supernovae (SNe) with redshifts in the 0.045 ≲ z ≲ 0.335 range, with a view to re-examining their utility as distance indicators. Specifically, we apply the expanding photosphere method (EPM)... Read More about An updated Type II supernova Hubble diagram.

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: the cluster redshift survey, target selection and cluster properties (2017)
Journal Article
Owers, M., Allen, J., Baldry, I., Bryant, J., Cecil, G., Cortese, L., …Tonini, C. (2017). The SAMI Galaxy Survey: the cluster redshift survey, target selection and cluster properties. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 468(2), 1824-1849. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx562

We describe the selection of galaxies targeted in eight low-redshift clusters (APMCC0917, A168, A4038, EDCC442, A3880, A2399, A119 and A85; 0.029 < z < 0.058) as part of the Sydney-AAO Multi-Object Integral field spectrograph Galaxy Survey (SAMI-GS)....

A Search for L/T Transition Dwarfs with Pan-STARRS1 and WISE. III. Young L Dwarf Discoveries and Proper Motion Catalogs in Taurus and Scorpius–Centaurus (2017)
Journal Article

Young L Dwarf Discoveries and Proper Motion Catalogs in Taurus and Scorpius–Centaurus. Astrophysical Journal, 837(1), Article 95. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa5df0

We present the discovery of eight young M7–L2 dwarfs in the Taurus star-forming region and the Scorpius–Centaurus OB Association, serendipitously found during a wide-field search for L/T transition dwarfs using Pan-STARRS1 (optical) and WISE (mid-inf...

Detection of Time Lags between Quasar Continuum Emission Bands Based On Pan-STARRS Light Curves (2017)
Journal Article
Jiang, Y., Green, P., Greene, J., Morganson, E., Shen, Y., Pancoast, A., …Waters, C. (2017). Detection of Time Lags between Quasar Continuum Emission Bands Based On Pan-STARRS Light Curves. Astrophysical Journal, 836(2), Article 186. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa5b91

As photons from different bands emerge from different radial ranges in the accretion disk, the lags constrain the sizes of the accretion disks. We select 240 quasars with redshifts of z ≈ 1 or z ≈ 0.3 that are relatively emission-line free. The light...

Identification of partially resolved binaries in Pan-STARRS 1 data (2017)
Journal Article
Deacon, N., Magnier, E., Best, W., Liu, M., Dupuy, T., Chambers, K., …Waters, C. (2017). Identification of partially resolved binaries in Pan-STARRS 1 data. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 468(3), 3499-3515. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx440

Using shape measurement techniques developed for weak lensing surveys, we have identified three new ultracool binaries in the Pan-STARRS 1 (Chambers et al.) survey. Binary companions that are not completely resolved can still alter the shapes of stel... Read More about Identification of partially resolved binaries in Pan-STARRS 1 data.

2MASS 0213+3648 C: A wide T3 benchmark companion to an an active, old M dwarf binary (2017)
Journal Article

We present the discovery of a 360 au separation T3 companion to the tight (3.1 au) M4.5+M6.5 binary 2MASS J02132062+3648506. This companion was identified using Pan-STARRS 1 data and despite its relative proximity to the Sun (22.2 +6.4−4.0 −4.0+6.4 p...
