Orbital Decay in a 20 Minute Orbital Period Detached Binary with a Hydrogen Poor Low Mass White Dwarf
Kevin B Burdge, Jim Fuller, E. Sterl Phinney +14
We report the discovery of a detached double white dwarf binary with an orbital period of , PTF J053332.05+020911.6. The visible object in this binary, PT…
Simultaneous observations of the northern TESS sectors by the Zwicky Transient Facility
Jan van Roestel, Eric C. Bellm, Dmitry A. Duev +9
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is conducting a nightly public survey of all 13 TESS northern sectors in 2019-2020. ZTF will observe the portions of the current TESS sectors vi…
Four (Super)luminous Supernovae from the First Months of the ZTF Survey
R. Lunnan, Lin Yan, D. A. Perley +30
We present photometry and spectroscopy of four hydrogen-poor luminous supernovae discovered during the two-month science commissioning and early operations of the Zwicky Transient…
General relativistic orbital decay in a seven-minute-orbital-period eclipsing binary system
Kevin B. Burdge, Michael W. Coughlin, Jim Fuller +23
General relativity predicts that short orbital period binaries emit significant gravitational radiation, and the upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to d…
A new class of pulsating hot subdwarfs
Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Kevin B. Burdge +22
Using high-cadence observations from the Zwicky Transient Facility at low Galactic latitudes, we have discovered a new class of pulsating, hot, compact stars. We have found four ca…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
Machine Learning for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Ashish Mahabal, Umaa Rebbapragada, Richard Walters +47
The Zwicky Transient Facility is a large optical survey in multiple filters producing hundreds of thousands of transient alerts per night. We describe here various machine learning…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
The Kitt Peak Electron Multiplying CCD demonstrator
Michael W. Coughlin, Richard G. Dekany, Dmitry A. Duev +10
The Kitt Peak Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD) demonstrator is a new instrument that has been developed for use at the Kitt Peak National Observatory's 84-inch telescope. The EMCCD…
