Description

The Pan-STARRS project is sensitive to wide range of very energetic transient phenomena including supernovae, active galaxies, tidal disruptionabstract events. I will describe some of the diverse results obtained on such events seen in extragalactic objects, including a new suggestion to explain a sub-set of these, involving micro-lensing.
