The Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey I: Spectroscopic Classification and the Redshift Completeness of Local Galaxy Catalogs
U. C. Fremling, A. A. Miller, Y. Sharma +37
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is performing a three-day cadence survey of the visible Northern sky (~3). The transient candidates found in this survey are announced via pu…
ZTF Early Observations of Type Ia Supernovae I: Properties of the 2018 Sample
Yuhan Yao, Adam A. Miller, S. R. Kulkarni +32
Early-time observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are essential to constrain their progenitor properties. In this paper, we present high-quality light curves of 127 SNe Ia dis…
The luminous and rapidly evolving SN 2018bcc: Clues toward the origin of Type Ibn SNe from the Zwicky Transient Facility
E. Karamehmetoglu, C. Fransson, J. Sollerman +20
Supernovae (SNe) Type Ibn are rapidly evolving and bright (M ) transients interacting with He-rich circumstellar material (CSM). SN 2018bcc, detected by th…
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…
Evidence for Late-stage Eruptive Mass-loss in the Progenitor to SN2018gep, a Broad-lined Ic Supernova: Pre-explosion Emission and a Rapidly Rising Luminous Transient
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Goldstein, Steve Schulze +47
We present detailed observations of ZTF18abukavn (SN2018gep), discovered in high-cadence data from the Zwicky Transient Facility as a rapidly rising ( mag/hr) and lumino…
ZTF18aalrxas: A Type IIb Supernova from a very extended low-mass progenitor
C. Fremling, H. Ko, A. Dugas +31
We investigate ZTF18aalrxas, a double-peaked Type IIb core-collapse supernova (SN) discovered during science validation of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). ZTF18aalrxas was dis…
A Fully Automated Integral Field Spectrograph Pipeline for the SEDMachine: pysedm
M. Rigault, J. D. Neill, N. Blagorodnova +8
Current time domain facilities are discovering hundreds of new galactic and extra-galactic transients every week. Classifying the ever-increasing number of transients is challengin…
The Kitt Peak Electron Multiplying CCD demonstrator
Michael W. Coughlin, Richard G. Dekany, Dmitry A. Duev +10
The Kitt Peak Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD) demonstrator is a new instrument that has been developed for use at the Kitt Peak National Observatory's 84-inch telescope. The EMCCD…
