We report on our serendipitous pre-discovery detection and detailed follow-up of the broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN) 2010ay at z = 0.067 imaged by the Pan-STARRS1 3pi survey just ~4 days after explosion. The SN had a peak luminosity, M_R ~ -20.2 m

Recent searches by unbiased, wide-field surveys have uncovered a group of extremely luminous optical transients. The initial discoveries of SN 2005ap by the Texas Supernova Search and SCP-06F6 in a deep Hubble pencil beam survey were followed by the

Selection, Prioritization, and Characteristics of Kepler Target Stars

Autor: Batalha, N. M., Borucki, W. J., Koch, D. G., Bryson, S. T., Haas, M. R., Brown, T. M., Caldwell, D. A., Gilliland, R. L., Latham, D. W., Meibom, S., Monet, D. G.

The Kepler Mission began its 3.5-year photometric monitoring campaign in May 2009 on a select group of approximately 150,000 stars. The stars were chosen from the ~half million in the field of view that are brighter than 16th magnitude. The selection
