Gravitational microlensing events from the first year of the northern Galactic plane survey by the Zwicky Transient Facility

Abstract

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is currently surveying the entire northern sky, including dense Galactic plane fields. Here, we present preliminary results of the search for gravitational microlensing events in the ZTF data collected from the beginning of the survey (March 20, 2018) through June 30, 2019.
