Transient Science from PanSTARRS1
Abstract
Operating between 2009 and 2014, the PanSTARRS1 survey has made significant contributions to our understanding of the full landscape of astronomical transients. I will highlight key scientific results from the study of super-luminous supernova, core-collapse supernovae, rapidly-evolving transients, and low-luminosity transients. I will also discuss factors in the survey design of PS1 that made these discoveries possible, and implications for the next generation of surveys such as LSST.
