Is Pan-STARRS dead or what?
I can't find a single published result from Pan-STARRS despite the 1.4 Gigapixel CCD camera being in operation for over a year. Images taken during commissioning show nasty defects - spurious artefacts in the form of blue rings, butterfly shapes around stars, linear features, dark blotches etc. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o...Pan_STARRS.gif which is a detail from: http://pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/pub...lmes_Run1B.jpg Two years ago when Pan-STARRS started there were claims that by the end of 2007 Pan-STARRS would be the dominant asteroid finder - it hasn't happened. |
