Supernova Siblings and their Parent Galaxies in the Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Surve
M. L. Graham, C. Fremling, D. A. Perley +19
Supernova (SN) siblings -- two or more SNe in the same parent galaxy -- are useful tools for exploring progenitor stellar populations as well as properties of the host galaxies suc…
The X-ray and Radio Loud Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2020mrf: Implications for an Emerging Class of Engine-Driven Massive Star Explosions
Yuhan Yao, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Pavel Medvedev +9
We present AT2020mrf (SRGe J154754.2443907), an extra-galactic () fast blue optical transient (FBOT) with a rise time of days and a peak luminosit…
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…
Candidate Tidal Disruption Event AT2019fdr Coincident with a High-Energy Neutrino
Simeon Reusch, Robert Stein, Marek Kowalski +46
The origins of the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux remain largely unknown. Recently, one high-energy neutrino was associated with a tidal disruption event (TDE). Here we present A…
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…
Luminous Millimeter, Radio, and X-ray Emission from ZTF20acigmel (AT2020xnd)
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Ben Margalit, Michael Bremer +7
Observations of the extragalactic () transient AT2018cow established a new class of energetic explosions shocking a dense medium, which produce luminous emission at milli…
GRB 160410A: the first Chemical Study of the Interstellar Medium of a Short GRB
J. F. Agüí Fernández, C. C. Thöne, D. A. Kann +27
Short Gamma-Ray Bursts (SGRBs) are produced by the coalescence of compact binary systems which are remnants of massive stars. GRB 160410A is classified as a short-duration GRB with…
Three Core-Collapse Supernovae with Nebular Hydrogen Emission
J. Sollerman, S. Yang, S. Schulze +25
We present SN 2020jfo, a Type IIP supernova in the nearby galaxy M61. Optical light curves from the Zwicky Transient Facility, complemented with data from Swift and near-IR photome…
A low-energy explosion yields the underluminous Type IIP SN 2020cxd
S. Yang, J. Sollerman, N. L. Strotjohann +12
We present observations and analysis of SN 2020cxd, a Low luminous (LL), long-lived Type IIP SN. This object was a clear outlier in the magnitude-limited SN sample recently present…
Late-Time Evolution and Modeling of the Off-Axis Gamma-ray Burst Candidate FIRST J141918.9+394036
K. P. Mooley, B. Margalit, C. J. Law +12
We present new radio and optical data, including very long baseline interferometry, as well as archival data analysis, for the luminous decades-long radio transient FIRST J141918.9…
Discovery and confirmation of the shortest gamma ray burst from a collapsar
Tomas Ahumada, Leo P. Singer, Shreya Anand +54
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the brightest and most energetic events in the universe. The duration and hardness distribution of GRBs has two clusters, now understood to reflec…
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…
Fast-transient Searches in Real Time with ZTFReST: Identification of Three Optically-discovered Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows and New Constraints on the Kilonova Rate
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Erik C. Kool +32
While optical surveys regularly discover slow transients like supernovae on their own, the most common way to discover extragalactic fast transients, fading away in a few nights, i…
Real-time Discovery of AT2020xnd: A Fast, Luminous Ultraviolet Transient with Minimal Radioactive Ejecta
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Yuhan Yao +29
The many unusual properties of the enigmatic AT2018cow suggested that at least some subset of the empirical class of fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) represents a genuinely new…
