    • A map of dust reddening to 4.5 Kpc from Pan-STARRS1 

      Schlafly, E. F.; Green, Gregory Maurice; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Jurić, M.; Rix, H.-W.; Martin, N. F.; Burgett, W. S.; Chambers, K; Draper, P. W.; Hodapp, K. W.; Kaiser, N.; Kudritzki, R.-P.; Magnier, E. A.; Metcalfe, N.; Morgan, J. S.; Price, Mary C.; Stubbs, Christopher William; Tonry, J. L.; Wainscoat, R. J.; Waters, Christopher (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      We present a map of the dust reddening to 4.5 kpc derived from Pan-STARRS1 stellar photometry. The map covers almost the entire sky north of declination −30◦ at a resolution of 7′–14′, and is based on the estimated distances ...

    • Measuring Distances and Reddenings for a Billion Stars: Toward a 3d Dust Map From Pan-Starrs 1 

      Green, Gregory Maurice; Schlafly, Edward F.; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Jurić, Mario; Rix, Hans-Walter; Burgett, Will; Chambers, Kenneth C.; Draper, Peter W.; Flewelling, Heather; Kudritzki, Rolf Peter; Magnier, Eugene; Martin, Nicolas; Metcalfe, Nigel; Tonry, John; Wainscoat, Richard; Waters, Christopher (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      We present a method to infer reddenings and distances to stars based only on their broad-band photometry, and show how this method can be used to produce a three-dimensional (3D) dust map of the Galaxy. Our method samples ...

    • Perseus I: A Distant Satellite Dwarf Galaxy of Andromeda 

      Martin, Nicolas F.; Schlafly, Edward F.; Slater, Colin T.; Bernard, Edouard J.; Rix, Hans-Walter; Bell, Eric F.; Ferguson, Annette M. N.; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Laevens, Benjamin P. M.; Burgett, William S.; Chambers, Kenneth C.; Draper, Peter W.; Hodapp, Klaus W.; Kaiser, Nicholas; Kudritzki, Rolf-Peter; Magnier, Eugene A.; Metcalfe, Nigel; Morgan, Jeffrey S.; Price, Paul A.; Tonry, John L.; Wainscoat, Richard J.; Waters, Christopher (IOP Publishing, 2013)
      We present the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Perseus I/Andromeda XXXIII, found in the vicinity of Andromeda (M31) in stacked imaging data from the Pan-STARRS1 3π survey. Located 27fdg9 away from M31, Perseus I has a ...
