Tuning into spatial frequency space: Satellite and space debris detection in the ZTF alert stream
J. P. Carvajal, F. E. Bauer, I. Reyes-Jainaga +6
A significant challenge in the study of transient astrophysical phenomena is the identification of bogus events, among which human-made satellites and debris in Earth orbit remain…
ALeRCE light curve classifier: Tidal disruption event expansion pack
M. Pavez-Herrera, P. Sánchez-Sáez, L. Hernández-GarcÃa +9
ALeRCE (Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events) processes the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream in preparation for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, clas…
AT 2021hdr: A candidate tidal disruption of a gas cloud by a binary super massive black hole system
L. Hernández-GarcÃa, A. M. Muñoz-Arancibia, P. Lira +25
With a growing number of facilities able to monitor the entire sky and produce light curves with a cadence of days, in recent years there has been an increased rate of detection of…
Optical and near-infrared photometry of 94 type II supernovae from the Carnegie Supernova Project
J. P. Anderson, C. Contreras, M. D. Stritzinger +43
Type II supernovae (SNeII) mark the endpoint in the lives of hydrogen-rich massive stars. Their large explosion energies and luminosities allow us to measure distances, metalliciti…
SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a black hole
P. Sánchez-Sáez, L. Hernández-GarcÃa, S. Bernal +22
The galaxy SDSS1335+0728, which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Fa…
