Discovering Earth's transient moons with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
Grigori Fedorets, Mikael Granvik, R. Lynne Jones +2
Earth's temporarily-captured orbiters (TCOs) are a sub-population of near-Earth objects (NEOs). TCOs can provide constraints for NEO population models in the 1--10-metre-diameter r…
Discovery of an intermediate-luminosity red transient in M51 and its likely dust-obscured, infrared-variable progenitor
Jacob E. Jencson, Scott M. Adams, Howard E. Bond +49
We present the discovery of an optical transient (OT) in Messier 51, designated M51 OT2019-1 (also ZTF19aadyppr, AT 2019abn, ATLAS19bzl), by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Th…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Data Processing, Products, and Archive
Frank J. Masci, Russ R. Laher, Ben Rusholme +46
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new robotic time-domain survey currently in progress using the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt Telescope. ZTF uses a 47 square degree field with a…
Enabling Deep All-Sky Searches of Outer Solar System Objects
Mario Jurić, R. Lynne Jones, J. Bryce Kalmbach +12
A foundational goal of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is to map the Solar System small body populations that provide key windows into understanding of its formation and…
Fast algorithms for slow moving asteroids: constraints on the distribution of Kuiper Belt Objects
Peter J. Whidden, J. Bryce Kalmbach, Andrew J. Connolly +11
We introduce a new computational technique for searching for faint moving sources in astronomical images. Starting from a maximum likelihood estimate for the probability of the det…
