A new class of Roche lobe-filling hot subdwarf binaries
Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Kevin B. Burdge +30
We present the discovery of the second binary with a Roche lobe-filling hot subdwarf transferring mass to a white dwarf (WD) companion. This 56 minute binary was discovered using d…
Orbital Decay in a 20 Minute Orbital Period Detached Binary with a Hydrogen Poor Low Mass White Dwarf
Kevin B Burdge, Jim Fuller, E. Sterl Phinney +14
We report the discovery of a detached double white dwarf binary with an orbital period of , PTF J053332.05+020911.6. The visible object in this binary, PT…
Simultaneous observations of the northern TESS sectors by the Zwicky Transient Facility
Jan van Roestel, Eric C. Bellm, Dmitry A. Duev +9
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is conducting a nightly public survey of all 13 TESS northern sectors in 2019-2020. ZTF will observe the portions of the current TESS sectors vi…
Discovery of Highly Blueshifted Broad Balmer and Metastable Helium Absorption Lines in a Tidal Disruption Event
T. Hung, S. B. Cenko, Nathaniel Roth +25
We report the discovery of non-stellar hydrogen Balmer and metastable helium absorption lines accompanying a transient, high-velocity (0.05) broad absorption line (BAL) system i…
The Palomar Transient Factory Sky2Night programme
J. van Roestel, P. J. Groot, T. Kupfer +9
We present results of the Sky2Night project: a systematic, unbiased search for fast optical transients with the Palomar Transient Factory. We have observed 407 deg in -band…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
