The Palomar Transient Factory photometric calibration
E. O. Ofek, R. Laher, N. Law +20
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) provides multiple epoch imaging for a large fraction of the sky. Here we describe the photometric calibration of the PTF data products that rela…
Rapid, Machine-Learned Resource Allocation: Application to High-redshift GRB Follow-up
Adam N. Morgan, James Long, Joseph W. Richards +3
As the number of observed Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) continues to grow, follow-up resources need to be used more efficiently in order to maximize science output from limited telescope…
Three New Eclipsing White-dwarf - M-dwarf Binaries Discovered in a Search for Transiting Planets Around M-dwarfs
Nicholas M. Law, Adam L. Kraus, Rachel Street +24
We present three new eclipsing white-dwarf / M-dwarf binary systems discovered during a search for transiting planets around M-dwarfs. Unlike most known eclipsing systems of this t…
A Compact Degenerate Primary-Star Progenitor of SN 2011fe
Joshua S. Bloom, Daniel Kasen, Ken J. Shen +10
While a white dwarf is, from a theoretical perspective, the most plausible primary star in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), many other candidates have not been formally ruled out. Shock…
IVOA Recommendation: Sky Event Reporting Metadata Version 2.0
Rob Seaman, Roy Williams, Alasdair Allan +12
VOEvent defines the content and meaning of a standard information packet for representing, transmitting, publishing and archiving information about a transient celestial event, wit…
Evidence for a compact Wolf-Rayet progenitor for the Type Ic supernova PTF 10vgv
A. Corsi, E. O. Ofek, A. Gal-Yam +22
We present the discovery of PTF 10vgv, a Type Ic supernova detected by the Palomar Transient Factory, using the Palomar 48-inch telescope (P48). R-band observations of the PTF 10vg…
