The Koala: A Fast Blue Optical Transient with Luminous Radio Emission from a Starburst Dwarf Galaxy at
Anna Y. Q. Ho, D. A. Perley, S. R. Kulkarni +25
We present ZTF18abvkwla (the "Koala"), a fast blue optical transient discovered in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) One-Day Cadence (1DC) Survey. ZTF18abvkwla has a number of fe…
ZTF Early Observations of Type Ia Supernovae II: First Light, the Initial Rise, and Time to Reach Maximum Brightness
A. A. Miller, Y. Yao, M. Bulla +17
While it is clear that Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are the result of thermonuclear explosions in C/O white dwarfs (WDs), a great deal remains uncertain about the binary companion that…
Infrastructure and Strategies for Time Domain and MMA and Follow-Up
B. W. Miller, L. Allen, E. Bellm +28
Time domain and multi-messenger astrophysics are growing and important modes of observational astronomy that will help define astrophysics in the 2020s. Significant effort is being…
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…
The first tidal disruption flare in ZTF: from photometric selection to multi-wavelength characterization
Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari, S. Bradley Cenko +37
We present Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) observations of the tidal disruption flare AT2018zr/PS18kh reported by Holoien et al. and detected during ZTF commissioning. The ZTF ligh…
A Mid-IR Selected Changing-Look Quasar and Physical Scenarios for Abrupt AGN Fading
Daniel Stern, Barry McKernan, Matthew J. Graham +11
We report a new changing-look quasar, WISE~J105203.55+151929.5 at , found by identifying highly mid-IR variable quasars in the WISE/NEOWISE data stream. Compared to multi-…
