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…
Discovery of an intermediate-luminosity red transient in M51 and its likely dust-obscured, infrared-variable progenitor
Jacob E. Jencson, Scott M. Adams, Howard E. Bond +49
We present the discovery of an optical transient (OT) in Messier 51, designated M51 OT2019-1 (also ZTF19aadyppr, AT 2019abn, ATLAS19bzl), by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Th…
