Four (Super)luminous Supernovae from the First Months of the ZTF Survey

R. Lunnan, Lin Yan, D. A. Perley +30

We present photometry and spectroscopy of four hydrogen-poor luminous supernovae discovered during the two-month science commissioning and early operations of the Zwicky Transient…

The long-lived Type IIn SN 2015da: Infrared echoes and strong interaction within an extended massive shell

L. Tartaglia, A. Pastorello, J. Sollerman +41

In this paper we report the results of the first four years of spectroscopic and photometric monitoring of the Type IIn supernova SN 2015da (also known as PSN J13522411+39412…

GROWTH on S190425z: Searching thousands of square degrees to identify an optical or infrared counterpart to a binary neutron star merger with the Zwicky Transient Facility and Palomar Gattini IR

Michael W. Coughlin, Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand +76

The third observing run by LVC has brought the discovery of many compact binary coalescences. Following the detection of the first binary neutron star merger in this run (LIGO/Virg…

SN 2018fif: The Explosion of a Large Red Supergiant Discovered in Its Infancy by the Zwicky Transient Facility

Maayane T. Soumagnac, Noam Ganot, Ido Irani +32

High cadence transient surveys are able to capture supernovae closer to their first light than before. Applying analytical models to such early emission, we can constrain the proge…

GROWTH on S190426c. II. Real-Time Search for a Counterpart to the Probable Neutron Star-Black Hole Merger using an Automated Difference Imaging Pipeline for DECam

Daniel A. Goldstein, Igor Andreoni, Peter E. Nugent +17

The discovery of a transient kilonova following the gravitational-wave event GW170817 highlighted the critical need for coordinated rapid and wide-field observations, inference, an…

Evidence for Late-stage Eruptive Mass-loss in the Progenitor to SN2018gep, a Broad-lined Ic Supernova: Pre-explosion Emission and a Rapidly Rising Luminous Transient

Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Goldstein, Steve Schulze +47

We present detailed observations of ZTF18abukavn (SN2018gep), discovered in high-cadence data from the Zwicky Transient Facility as a rapidly rising ( mag/hr) and lumino…
