Characterization of Temporarily-Captured Minimoon 2020 CD by Keck Time-resolved Spectrophotometry
Bryce T. Bolin, Christoffer Fremling, Timothy R. Holt +42
We present time-resolved visible spectrophotometry of minimoon 2020 CD, the second asteroid known to become temporarily captured by the Earth-Moon system's gravitational field.…
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…
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…
The first ultracompact Roche lobe-filling hot subdwarf binary
Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Thomas R. Marsh +29
We report the discovery of the first short period binary in which a hot subdwarf star (sdOB) fills its Roche lobe and started mass transfer to its companion. The object was discove…
Pre-discovery Activity of New Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov Beyond 5 AU
Quanzhi Ye, Michael S. P. Kelley, Bryce T. Bolin +15
Comet 2I/Borisov, the first unambiguous interstellar comet ever found, was discovered in August 2019 at au from the Sun on its inbound leg. No pre-discovery detection beyon…
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…
