Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At Oxford we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

The pan-starrs-1 and the recent SN science

Memorie della Societa Astronomica Italiana - Journal of the Italian Astronomical Society 19 (2012) 166-172

Authors:

S Valenti, S Smartt

Abstract:

The search for transient phenomena in the Universe has entered a new era. In the next decade new all-sky surveys will provide a vast amount of astronomical survey data. These data will address issues in many of the astronomical fields. In the Supernova field, we will have for the first time the possibility to discover SNe without most of the observational bias present in the previous SN searches. Here we report the status of the transients study in one of the new on-going all-sky surveys: the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System-1 (PanStarrs-1).
