Characterization of Temporarily-Captured Minimoon 2020 CD by Keck Time-resolved Spectrophotometry
Bryce T. Bolin, Christoffer Fremling, Timothy R. Holt +42
We present time-resolved visible spectrophotometry of minimoon 2020 CD, the second asteroid known to become temporarily captured by the Earth-Moon system's gravitational field.…
A new class of Roche lobe-filling hot subdwarf binaries
Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Kevin B. Burdge +30
We present the discovery of the second binary with a Roche lobe-filling hot subdwarf transferring mass to a white dwarf (WD) companion. This 56 minute binary was discovered using d…
Candidate Electromagnetic Counterpart to the Binary Black Hole Merger Gravitational Wave Event S190521g
M. J. Graham, K. E. S. Ford, B. McKernan +24
We report the first plausible optical electromagnetic (EM) counterpart to a (candidate) binary black hole (BBH) merger. Detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), the EM flar…
The Koala: A Fast Blue Optical Transient with Luminous Radio Emission from a Starburst Dwarf Galaxy at
Anna Y. Q. Ho, D. A. Perley, S. R. Kulkarni +25
We present ZTF18abvkwla (the "Koala"), a fast blue optical transient discovered in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) One-Day Cadence (1DC) Survey. ZTF18abvkwla has a number of fe…
ZTF J1901+5309: A 40.6-Minute Orbital Period Eclipsing Double White Dwarf System
Michael W. Coughlin, Kevin Burdge, E. Sterl Phinney +17
The Zwicky Transient Facility has begun to discover binary systems with orbital periods that are less than 1\,hr. Combined with dedicated follow-up systems, which allow for high-ca…
Cataclysmic Variables in the First Year of the Zwicky Transient Facility
Paula Szkody, Brooke Dicenzo, Anna Y. Q. Ho +25
Using selection criteria based on amplitude, time and color, we have identified 329 objects as known or candidate cataclysmic variable (CVs) during the first year of testing and op…
