Neutrino follow-up with the Zwicky Transient Facility: Results from the first 24 campaigns

Robert Stein, Simeon Reusch, Anna Franckowiak +33

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) performs a systematic neutrino follow-up program, searching for optical counterparts to high-energy neutrinos with dedicated Target-of-Opportuni…

Two stripped envelope supernovae with circumstellar interaction -- but only one really shows it

J. Sollerman, C. Fransson, C. Barbarino +23

We present SN 2019tsf (ZTF19ackjszs) and SN 2019oys (ZTF19abucwzt). These two stripped envelope Type Ib supernovae suddenly showed a (re-)brightening in their late light curves. We…

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…

Candidate Electromagnetic Counterpart to the Binary Black Hole Merger Gravitational Wave Event S190521g

M. J. Graham, K. E. S. Ford, B. McKernan +24

We report the first plausible optical electromagnetic (EM) counterpart to a (candidate) binary black hole (BBH) merger. Detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), the EM flar…

A non-equipartition shockwave traveling in a dense circumstellar environment around SN2020oi

Assaf Horesh, Itai Sfaradi, Mattias Ergon +34

We report the discovery and panchromatic followup observations of the young Type Ic supernova, SN2020oi, in M100, a grand design spiral galaxy at a mere distance of Mpc. We fo…

A tidal disruption event coincident with a high-energy neutrino

Robert Stein, Sjoert van Velzen, Marek Kowalski +55

Cosmic neutrinos provide a unique window into the otherwise-hidden mechanism of particle acceleration in astrophysical objects. A flux of high-energy neutrinos was discovered in 20…
