The Type Icn SN 2021csp: Implications for the Origins of the Fastest Supernovae and the Fates of Wolf-Rayet Stars
Daniel A. Perley, Jesper Sollerman, Steve Schulze +31
We present observations of SN 2021csp, the second example of a newly-identified type of supernova (Type Icn) hallmarked by strong, narrow, P Cygni carbon features at early times. T…
The Zwicky Transient Facility Type Ia supernova survey: first data release and results
S. Dhawan, A. Goobar, M. Smith +17
Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) in the nearby Hubble flow are excellent distance indicators in cosmology. The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) has observed a large sample of supernovae…
Faintest of them all : ZTF 21aaoryiz/SN 2021fcg -- Discovery of an extremely low luminosity type Iax supernova
Viraj R. Karambelkar, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Kate Maguire +20
We present the discovery of ZTF 21aaoryiz/SN 2021fcg -- an extremely low-luminosity Type Iax supernova. SN 2021fcg was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility in the star-formi…
Less than 1% of Core-Collapse Supernovae in the local universe occur in elliptical galaxies
I. Irani, S. J. Prentice, S. Schulze +39
We present observations of three Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) in elliptical hosts, detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey (BTS). SN 2019ape is a SN I…
Zwicky Transient Facility and Globular Clusters: the Period-Luminosity and Period-Luminosity-Color Relations for Late-Type Contact Binaries
Chow-Choong Ngeow, Szu-Han Liao, Eric C. Bellm +7
In this work, we aimed to derive the -band period-luminosity (PL) and period-luminosity-color (PLC) relations for late-type contact binaries, for the first time, located in th…
A Search for Extragalactic Fast Blue Optical Transients in ZTF and the Rate of AT2018cow-like Transients
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Avishay Gal-Yam +40
We present a search for extragalactic fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) during Phase I of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). We identify 38 candidates with durations above hal…
Removing Atmospheric Fringes from Zwicky Transient Facility i-Band Images using Principal Component Analysis
Michael S. Medford, Peter Nugent, Danny Goldstein +7
The Zwicky Transient Facility is a time-domain optical survey that has substantially increased our ability to observe and construct massive catalogs of astronomical objects by use…
