A WC/WO star exploding within an expanding carbon-oxygen-neon nebula
A. Gal-Yam, R. Bruch, S. Schulze +46
The final explosive fate of massive stars, and the nature of the compact remnants they leave behind (black holes and neutron stars), are major open questions in astrophysics. Many…
Phenomenological classification of the Zwicky Transient Facility astronomical event alerts
Dmitry A. Duev, Stéfan J. van der Walt
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a state-of-the-art optical robotic sky survey, registers on the order of a million transient events - such as supernova explosions, changes in…
High spectral resolution multi-tone Spacecraft Doppler tracking software: Algorithms and implementations
Guifré Molera Calvés, Sergei V. Pogrebenko, Jan F. Wagner +5
We present a software package for single-dish data processing of spacecraft signals observed with VLBI-equipped radio telescopes. The Spacecraft Doppler tracking (SDtracker) softwa…
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…
Establishing accretion flares from massive black holes as a source of high-energy neutrinos
Sjoert van Velzen, Robert Stein, Marat Gilfanov +26
The origin of cosmic high-energy neutrinos remains largely unexplained. For high-energy neutrino alerts from IceCube, a coincidence with time-variable emission has been seen for th…
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…
Variability-selected intermediate mass black hole candidates in dwarf galaxies from ZTF and WISE
Charlotte Ward, Suvi Gezari, Peter Nugent +9
While it is difficult to observe the first black hole seeds in the early Universe, we can study intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) in local dwarf galaxies for clues about their…
AT2018lqh and the nature of the emerging population of day-scale duration optical transients
E. O. Ofek, S. M. Adams, E. Waxman +18
We report on the discovery of AT2018lqh (ZTF18abfzgpl) -- a rapidly-evolving extra-galactic transient in a star-forming host at 242 Mpc. The transient g-band light curve's duration…
Discovery and characterization of five new eclipsing AM CVn systems
J. van Roestel, T. Kupfer, M. J. Green +19
AM CVn systems are ultra-compact, helium-rich, accreting binaries with degenerate or semi-degenerate donors. We report the discovery of five new eclipsing AM CVn systems with orbit…
Cataclysmic Variables in the Second Year of the Zwicky Transient Facility
Paula Szkody, Clair Olde Loohuis, Brad Koplitz +17
Using a filter in the GROWTH Marshal based on color and the amplitude and the timescale of variability, we have identified 372 objects as known or candidate cataclysmic variables (…
