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).
