Decoding the Early-Time Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae. II. Population Parameters of One Thousand ZTF Supernovae

Chang Liu, Adam A. Miller, Nikhil Sarin +13

Early-time light curves of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) encode critical information about their progenitor systems. We characterize the rise of normal SNe Ia using a volume-complete…

Pre-training vision models for the classification of alerts from wide-field time-domain surveys

Nabeel Rehemtulla, Adam A. Miller, Mike Walmsley +15

Modern wide-field time-domain surveys facilitate the study of transient, variable and moving phenomena by conducting image differencing and relaying alerts to their communities. Ma…

Applying multimodal learning to Classify transient Detections Early (AppleCiDEr) I: Data set, methods, and infrastructure

Alexandra Junell, Argyro Sasli, Felipe Fontinele Nunes +18

Modern time-domain surveys like the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) generate hundreds of thousands to millions of alerts, demanding a…

A luminous and hot infrared through X-ray transient at a 5 kpc offset from a dwarf galaxy

Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Raffaella Margutti +20

We are searching for hot, constant-color, offset optical flares in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data stream that are from any galaxy in public imaging data from th…

CCSNscore: A multi-input deep learning tool for classification of core-collapse supernovae using SED-Machine spectra

Yashvi Sharma, Ashish A. Mahabal, Jesper Sollerman +16

Supernovae (SNe) come in various flavors and are classified into different types based on emission and absorption lines in their spectra. SN candidates are now abundant with the ad…

The Early Ultraviolet Light-Curves of Type II Supernovae and the Radii of Their Progenitor Stars

Ido Irani, Jonathan Morag, Avishay Gal-Yam +18

We present a sample of 34 normal SNe II detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility, with multi-band UV light-curves starting at days after explosion, as well as X-ray d…

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…
