The prevalence and influence of circumstellar material around hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +44
Narrow transient emission lines (flash-ionization features) in early supernova (SN) spectra trace the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) around the massive progenitor stars o…
Supernova 2020wnt: An Atypical Superluminous Supernova with a Hidden Central Engine
Samaporn Tinyanont, Stan E. Woosley, Kirsty Taggart +34
We present observations of a peculiar hydrogen- and helium-poor stripped-envelope (SE) supernova (SN) 2020wnt, primarily in the optical and near-infrared (near-IR). Its peak absolu…
Uncovering a population of gravitational lens galaxies with magnified standard candle SN Zwicky
Ariel Goobar, Joel Johansson, Steve Schulze +35
Detecting gravitationally lensed supernovae is among the biggest challenges in astronomy. It involves a combination of two very rare phenomena: catching the transient signal of a s…
Probing the low-mass end of core-collapse supernovae using a sample of strongly-stripped Calcium-rich Type IIb Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Christoffer Fremling +23
The fate of stars in the zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS) range Msun is unclear. They could evolve to form white dwarfs or explode as electron-capture supernovae (SNe)…
The Zwicky Transient Facility phase I sample of hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae without strong narrow emission lines
Tuomas Kangas, Lin Yan, Steve Schulze +19
We present a sample of 14 hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe II) from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) between 2018 and 2020. We include all classified SLSNe with pea…
Neutrino follow-up with the Zwicky Transient Facility: Results from the first 24 campaigns
Robert Stein, Simeon Reusch, Anna Franckowiak +33
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) performs a systematic neutrino follow-up program, searching for optical counterparts to high-energy neutrinos with dedicated Target-of-Opportuni…
The Final Season Reimagined: 30 Tidal Disruption Events from the ZTF-I Survey
Erica Hammerstein, Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari +30
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique way to study dormant black holes. While the number of observed TDEs has grown thanks to the emergence of wide-field surveys in the pas…
The Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Phase-I Survey: II. Light Curve Modeling and Characterization of Undulations
Z. H. Chen, Lin Yan, T. Kangas +19
We present analysis of the light curves (LCs) of 77 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) discovered during the Zwicky Transient Facility Phase-I operation. We find that…
The Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility Phase-I Survey: I. Light Curves and Measurements
Z. H. Chen, Lin Yan, T. Kangas +40
During the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Phase-I operation, 78 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) were discovered in less than three years, making up the largest sa…
