As far as I'm aware, this was purely a Pan-STARRS project based on data from WISE. There may have been contributions from Hilo-based astronomers but would have to check. However, as with all surveys like this, they provide interesting objects to study with the large observatories on Mauna Kea plus space telescopes, so it's a huge contribution to our understanding of the universe that Hawaii provides.
