Early Ultra-Violet observations of type IIn supernovae constrain the asphericity of their circumstellar material

Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek, Jingyi Liang +41

We present a survey of the early evolution of 12 Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) in the Ultra-Violet (UV) and visible light. We use this survey to constrain the geometry of the circu…

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…

Four (Super)luminous Supernovae from the First Months of the ZTF Survey

R. Lunnan, Lin Yan, D. A. Perley +30

We present photometry and spectroscopy of four hydrogen-poor luminous supernovae discovered during the two-month science commissioning and early operations of the Zwicky Transient…

Real-bogus classification for the Zwicky Transient Facility using deep learning

Dmitry A. Duev, Ashish Mahabal, Frank J. Masci +8

Efficient automated detection of flux-transient, reoccurring flux-variable, and moving objects is increasingly important for large-scale astronomical surveys. We present braai, a c…

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…

A New Class of Changing-Look LINERs

Sara Frederick, Suvi Gezari, Matthew J. Graham +28

We report the discovery of six active galactic nuclei (AGN) caught "turning on" during the first nine months of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey. The host galaxies were c…
