New research results! Postdoc Tiara Hung and team used @Hubble to see a star ripped apart by a supermassive black hole, a “tidal disruption event” that is closest yet discovered. Ultraviolet reveals fast-moving material in these rare events. More: bit.ly/UCSCat2019qiz @ucsc

We've been working on the Young Supernova Experiment (YSE), a new optical time-domain survey on the Pan-STARRS telescopes, for about a year now. YSE just published its survey overview and initial transient discoveries. Read about it here: bit.ly/YSE-PZ #UCSC
