A search for relativistic ejecta in a sample of ZTF broad-lined Type Ic supernovae

Alessandra Corsi, Anna Y. Q. Ho, S. Bradley Cenko +23

The dividing line between gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and ordinary stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SNe) is yet to be fully understood. Observationally mapping the variety o…

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…

A population of heavily reddened, optically missed novae from Palomar Gattini-IR: Constraints on the Galactic nova rate

Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Matthew J. Hankins +25

The nova rate in the Milky Way remains largely uncertain, despite its vital importance in constraining models of Galactic chemical evolution as well as understanding progenitor cha…

The Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey. II. A Public Statistical Sample for Exploring Supernova Demographics

Daniel A. Perley, Christoffer Fremling, Jesper Sollerman +34

We present a public catalog of transients from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Bright Transient Survey (BTS), a magnitude-limited (m<19 mag in either the g or r filter) survey…

Bright, months-long stellar outbursts announce the explosion of interaction-powered supernovae

Nora L. Strotjohann, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam +53

Interaction-powered supernovae (SNe) explode within an optically-thick circumstellar medium (CSM) that could be ejected during eruptive events. To identify and characterize such pr…

Constraining the Kilonova Rate with Zwicky Transient Facility Searches Independent of Gravitational Wave and Short Gamma-ray Burst Triggers

Igor Andreoni, Erik C. Kool, Ana Sagues Carracedo +34

The first binary neutron star merger, GW170817, was accompanied by a radioactivity-powered optical/infrared transient called a kilonova. To date, no compelling kilonova has been fo…
