Multi-wavelength Observations of AT2019wey: a New Candidate Black Hole Low-mass X-ray Binary
Yuhan Yao, S. R. Kulkarni, Kevin B. Burdge +21
AT2019wey (SRGA J043520.9+552226, SRGE J043523.3+552234) is a transient first reported by the ATLAS optical survey in 2019 December. It rose to prominence upon detection, three mon…
AGN on the move: A search for off-nuclear AGN from recoiling SMBHs and ongoing galaxy mergers with the Zwicky Transient Facility
Charlotte Ward, Suvi Gezari, Sara Frederick +16
A supermassive black hole (SMBH) ejected from the potential well of its host galaxy via gravitational wave recoil carries important information about the mass ratio and spin alignm…
A systematic search of Zwicky Transient Facility data for ultracompact binary LISA-detectable gravitational-wave sources
Kevin B. Burdge, Thomas A. Prince, Jim Fuller +31
Using photometry collected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we are conducting an ongoing survey for binary systems with short orbital periods ( with…
SN 2018ijp: the explosion of a stripped-envelope star within a dense H-rich shell?
L. Tartaglia, J. Sollerman, C. Barbarino +24
In this paper, we discuss the outcomes of the follow-up campaign of SN 2018ijp, discovered as part of the Zwicky Transient Facility survey for optical transients. Its first spectru…
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…
SN 2020bqj: a Type Ibn supernova with a long lasting peak plateau
E. C. Kool, E. Karamehmetoglu, J. Sollerman +31
Context: Type Ibn supernovae are a rare class of stripped envelope supernovae interacting with a helium-rich CSM. The majority of the SNe Ibn reported display a surprising homogene…
Helium-rich Superluminous Supernovae From the Zwicky Transient Facility
Lin Yan, D. Perley, S. Schulze +39
Helium is expected to be present in the ejecta of some hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSN-I). However, so far only one event, PTF10hgi has been identified with He feature…
Zwicky Transient Facility constraints on the optical emission from the nearby repeating FRB 180916.J0158+65
Igor Andreoni, Wenbin Lu, Roger M. Smith +16
The discovery rate of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is increasing dramatically thanks to new radio facilities. Meanwhile, wide-field instruments such as the 47 deg Zwicky Transient…
The Spectacular Ultraviolet Flash From the Peculiar Type Ia Supernova 2019yvq
A. A. Miller, M. R. Magee, A. Polin +42
Early observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) provide essential clues for understanding the progenitor system that gave rise to the terminal thermonuclear explosion. We pres…
The Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe I: Systematic search for Calcium rich gap transients reveal three related spectroscopic sub-classes
Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Anastasios Tzanidakis +47
(Abridged) Using the Zwicky Transient Facility alert stream, we are conducting a large campaign to spectroscopically classify all transients occurring in galaxies in the Census of…
