Constraining the Radio-loud Fraction of Quasars at z > 5.5 (2015)
Journal Article
Bañados, E., Venemans, B., Morganson, E., Hodge, J., Decarli, R., Walter, F., …Wainscoat, R. (2015). Constraining the Radio-loud Fraction of Quasars at z > 5.5. Astrophysical Journal, 804(2), https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/804/2/118

Radio-loud active galactic nuclei at $z\sim 2-4$ are typically located in dense environments and their host galaxies are among the most massive systems at those redshifts, providing key insights for galaxy evolution. Finding radio-loud quasars at the... Read More about Constraining the Radio-loud Fraction of Quasars at z > 5.5.

Selecting superluminous supernovae in faint galaxies from the first year of the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey (2015)
Journal Article
McCrum, M., Smartt, S., Rest, A., Smith, K., Kotak, R., Rodney, S., …Waters, C. (2015). Selecting superluminous supernovae in faint galaxies from the first year of the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 448(2), 1206-1231. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv034

The Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) survey has obtained imaging in five bands (griz yP1) over 10 Medium Deep Survey (MDS) fields covering a total of 70 square degrees. This paper describes the search for apparently hostless supernovae (SNe) within the first year o...

The Identification of Z-dropouts in Pan-STARRS1: Three Quasars at 6.5< z< 6.7 (2015)
Journal Article
Venemans, B., Bañados, E., Decarli, R., Farina, E., Walter, F., Chambers, K., …Sullivan, P. (2015). The Identification of Z-dropouts in Pan-STARRS1: Three Quasars at 6.5< z< 6.7. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 801(1), Article L11. https://doi.org/10.1088/2041-8205/801/1/l11

Luminous distant quasars are unique probes of the high-redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) and of the growth of massive galaxies and black holes in the early universe. Absorption due to neutral hydrogen in the IGM makes quasars beyond a redshift of $... Read More about The Identification of Z-dropouts in Pan-STARRS1: Three Quasars at 6.5< z< 6.7.

Three-dimensional Dust Mapping Reveals that Orion Forms Part of a Large Ring of Dust (2015)
Journal Article
Schlafly, E., Green, G., Finkbeiner, D., Rix, H., Burgett, W., Chambers, K., …Waters, C. (2015). Three-dimensional Dust Mapping Reveals that Orion Forms Part of a Large Ring of Dust. Astrophysical Journal, 799(2), https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/799/2/116

The Orion Molecular Complex is the nearest site of ongoing high-mass star formation, making it one of the most extensively studied molecular complexes in the Galaxy. We have developed a new technique for mapping the three-dimensional distribution of... Read More about Three-dimensional Dust Mapping Reveals that Orion Forms Part of a Large Ring of Dust.

Toward Characterization of the Type IIP Supernova Progenitor Population: A Statistical Sample of Light Curves from Pan-STARRS1 (2015)

Astrophysical Journal, 799(2), https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/799/2/208

In recent years, wide-field sky surveys providing deep multiband imaging have presented a new path for indirectly characterizing the progenitor populations of core-collapse supernovae (SNe): systematic light-curve studies. We assemble a set of 76 gri... Read More about Toward Characterization of the Type IIP Supernova Progenitor Population: A Statistical Sample of Light Curves from Pan-STARRS1.
