The Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey: The role of galaxy group environment in the star formation rate versus stellar mass relation and quiescent fraction out to $z \sim 0.8$
Lihwai Lin,Hung-Yu Jian,Sebastien Foucaud,Peder Norberg,Richard G. Bower,Shaun Cole,Pablo Arnalte-Mur,Chin-Wei Chen,Jean Coupon,Bau-Ching Hsieh,Sebastien Heinis,Stefanie Phleps,Wen Ping Chen,Chien-Hsiu Lee,William S. Burgett,K. C. Chambers,L. Denneau,Peter W. Draper,H. Flewelling,Klaus W. Hodapp,M. E. Huber,Nick Kaiser,R. P. Kudritzki,E. A. Magnier,Nigel Metcalfe,Paul A. Price,John L. Tonry,R. J. Wainscoat,Christopher M. Waters +28 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large sample of field and group galaxies drawn from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey was used to study the specific star formation rate (SSFR) - stellar mass (M*) relation, as well as the quiescent fraction versus M* relation in different environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finding, characterizing and classifying variable sources in multi-epoch sky surveys: QSOs and RR Lyrae in PS1 3$\pi$ data
Nina Hernitschek,Edward F. Schlafly,Branimir Sesar,Hans-Walter Rix,David W. Hogg,Zeljko Ivezic,Eva K. Grebel,Eric F. Bell,Nicolas F. Martin,W. S. Burgett,H. Flewelling,Klaus W. Hodapp,Nick Kaiser,E. A. Magnier,Nigel Metcalfe,R. J. Wainscoat,C. L. Waters +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, a random forest classifier was used to identify variable point sources in the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) 3$pi$ survey, which is unique among many-epoch, multi-band surveys and has enormous potential for all-sky identification of variable sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pan-STARRS photometric and astrometric calibration.
Eugene A. Magnier,Edward F. Schlafly,Douglas P. Finkbeiner,John L. Tonry,Bertrand Goldman,Siegfried Röser,Elena Schilbach,Stefano Casertano,K. C. Chambers,H. Flewelling,M. E. Huber,P. A. Price,W. E. Sweeney,Christopher Waters,L. Denneau,Peter W. Draper,Klaus W. Hodapp,Robert Jedicke,Nick Kaiser,R. P. Kudritzki,Nigel Metcalfe,Christopher W. Stubbs,R. J. Wainscoat +22 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the details of the photometric and astrometric calibration of the Pan-STARRS1 3π Survey and demonstrate that the resulting photometric system is consistent across the sky to between 7 and 12.4 mmag.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smith,John L. Tonry,R. J. Wainscoat +29 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the Pan-STARRS1 discovery and light curves, and follow-up MMT and Gemini spectroscopy of an ultra-luminous supernova (ULSN; dubbed PS1-11bam) at a redshift of z=1.566 with a peak brightness of M_UV=-22.3 mag.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, Pan-STARRS 1 optical survey telescope (PS1) data were combined with 2MASS to conduct a proper motion search for nearby T dwarfs, using optical+near-IR colors to select objects for spectroscopic followup.
