Cosmological Fast Optical Transients with the Zwicky Transient Facility: A Search for Dirty Fireballs
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Yuhan Yao +33
Dirty fireballs are a hypothesized class of relativistic massive-star explosions with an initial Lorentz factor below the required to pro…
The X-ray and Radio Loud Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2020mrf: Implications for an Emerging Class of Engine-Driven Massive Star Explosions
Yuhan Yao, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Pavel Medvedev +9
We present AT2020mrf (SRGe J154754.2443907), an extra-galactic () fast blue optical transient (FBOT) with a rise time of days and a peak luminosit…
The Type Icn SN 2021csp: Implications for the Origins of the Fastest Supernovae and the Fates of Wolf-Rayet Stars
Daniel A. Perley, Jesper Sollerman, Steve Schulze +31
We present observations of SN 2021csp, the second example of a newly-identified type of supernova (Type Icn) hallmarked by strong, narrow, P Cygni carbon features at early times. T…
Faintest of them all : ZTF 21aaoryiz/SN 2021fcg -- Discovery of an extremely low luminosity type Iax supernova
Viraj R. Karambelkar, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Kate Maguire +20
We present the discovery of ZTF 21aaoryiz/SN 2021fcg -- an extremely low-luminosity Type Iax supernova. SN 2021fcg was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility in the star-formi…
Luminous Millimeter, Radio, and X-ray Emission from ZTF20acigmel (AT2020xnd)
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Ben Margalit, Michael Bremer +7
Observations of the extragalactic () transient AT2018cow established a new class of energetic explosions shocking a dense medium, which produce luminous emission at milli…
Fast-transient Searches in Real Time with ZTFReST: Identification of Three Optically-discovered Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows and New Constraints on the Kilonova Rate
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Erik C. Kool +32
While optical surveys regularly discover slow transients like supernovae on their own, the most common way to discover extragalactic fast transients, fading away in a few nights, i…
