GROWTH on S190425z: Searching thousands of square degrees to identify an optical or infrared counterpart to a binary neutron star merger with the Zwicky Transient Facility and Palomar Gattini IR
Michael W. Coughlin, Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand +76
The third observing run by LVC has brought the discovery of many compact binary coalescences. Following the detection of the first binary neutron star merger in this run (LIGO/Virg…
SN 2018fif: The Explosion of a Large Red Supergiant Discovered in Its Infancy by the Zwicky Transient Facility
Maayane T. Soumagnac, Noam Ganot, Ido Irani +32
High cadence transient surveys are able to capture supernovae closer to their first light than before. Applying analytical models to such early emission, we can constrain the proge…
A Search for High-Energy Counterparts to Fast Radio Bursts
Virginia Cunningham, S. Bradley Cenko, Eric Burns +8
We report on a search for high-energy counterparts to fast radio bursts (FRBs) with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM), Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), and the Neil Gehrels…
Evidence for Late-stage Eruptive Mass-loss in the Progenitor to SN2018gep, a Broad-lined Ic Supernova: Pre-explosion Emission and a Rapidly Rising Luminous Transient
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Goldstein, Steve Schulze +47
We present detailed observations of ZTF18abukavn (SN2018gep), discovered in high-cadence data from the Zwicky Transient Facility as a rapidly rising ( mag/hr) and lumino…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
