A data science platform to enable time-domain astronomy
Michael W. Coughlin, Joshua S. Bloom, Guy Nir +50
SkyPortal is an open-source software package designed to efficiently discover interesting transients, manage follow-up, perform characterization, and visualize the results. By enab…
A search for Kuiper Belt occultations using the Weizmann Fast Astronomical Survey Telescope
Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, David Polishook +2
Measuring the size distribution of small (km-scale) KBOs can help constrain models of Solar System formation and planetary migration. Such small, distant bodies are hard to detect…
A reduction procedure and pipeline for the detection of trans-Neptunian objects using occultations
Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, Barak Zackay
Kuiper belt objects smaller than a few kilometers are difficult to observe directly. They can be detected when they randomly occult a background star. Close to the ecliptic plane,…
A Systematic Study of Ia-CSM Supernovae from the ZTF Bright Transient Survey
Yashvi Sharma, Jesper Sollerman, Christoffer Fremling +35
Among the supernovae (SNe) that show strong interaction with the circumstellar medium, there is a rare subclass of Type Ia supernovae, SNe Ia-CSM, that show strong narrow hydrogen…
A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…
Physical properties of the trans-Neptunian object (38628) Huya from a multi-chord stellar occultation
P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz, B. Sicardy +85
Within our international program to obtain accurate physical properties of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) we predicted a stellar occultation by the TNO (38628) Huya of the star Gai…
