Optical follow-up of the neutron star-black hole mergers S200105ae and S200115j
Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin, Mansi M. Kasliwal +46
LIGO and Virgo's third observing run (O3) revealed the first neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger candidates in gravitational waves. These events are predicted to synthesize r-pro…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Observing System
Richard Dekany, Roger M. Smith, Reed Riddle +23
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Observing System (OS) is the data collector for the ZTF project to study astrophysical phenomena in the time domain. ZTF OS is based upon the 48…
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…
SN2019dge: a Helium-rich Ultra-Stripped Envelope Supernova
Yuhan Yao, Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal +28
We present observations of ZTF18abfcmjw (SN2019dge), a helium-rich supernova with a fast-evolving light curve indicating an extremely low ejecta mass () and l…
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…
