A New Forced Photometry Service for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Frank J. Masci, Russ R. Laher, Benjamin Rusholme +6
We describe the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Forced Photometry Service (ZFPS) as developed and maintained by the ZTF Science Data System Team at IPAC/Caltech. The service is ope…
A Morphological Classification Model to Identify Unresolved PanSTARRS1 Sources II: Update to the PS1 Point Source Catalog
A. A. Miller, X. Hall
We present an update to the PanSTARRS-1 Point Source Catalog (PS1 PSC), which provides morphological classifications of PS1 sources. The original PS1 PSC adopted stringent detectio…
iPTF Survey for Cool Transients
S. M. Adams, N. Blagorodnova, M. M. Kasliwal +25
We performed a wide-area (2000 deg) g and I band experiment as part of a two month extension to the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory. We discovered 36 extragalactic tra…
Preparing for advanced LIGO: A Star-Galaxy Separation Catalog for the Palomar Transient Factory
A. A. Miller, M. K. Kulkarni, Y. Cao +3
The search for fast optical transients, such as the expected electromagnetic counterparts to binary neutron star mergers, is riddled with false positives ranging from asteroids to…
iPTF Search for an Optical Counterpart to Gravitational Wave Trigger GW150914
M. M. Kasliwal, S. B. Cenko, L. P. Singer +28
The intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) autonomously responded to and promptly tiled the error region of the first gravitational wave event GW150914 to search for an opti…
