Cataclysmic Variables and AM CVn Binaries in SRG/eROSITA + Gaia: Volume Limited Samples, X-ray Luminosity Functions, and Space Densities

Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, Valery Suleimanov +22

We present volume-limited samples of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and AM CVn binaries jointly selected from SRG/eROSITA eRASS1 and \textit{Gaia} DR3 using an X-ray + optical color-c…

Candidate Electromagnetic Counterpart to the Binary Black Hole Merger Gravitational Wave Event S190521g

M. J. Graham, K. E. S. Ford, B. McKernan +24

We report the first plausible optical electromagnetic (EM) counterpart to a (candidate) binary black hole (BBH) merger. Detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), the EM flar…

A non-equipartition shockwave traveling in a dense circumstellar environment around SN2020oi

Assaf Horesh, Itai Sfaradi, Mattias Ergon +34

We report the discovery and panchromatic followup observations of the young Type Ic supernova, SN2020oi, in M100, a grand design spiral galaxy at a mere distance of Mpc. We fo…

Zwicky Transient Facility constraints on the optical emission from the nearby repeating FRB 180916.J0158+65

Igor Andreoni, Wenbin Lu, Roger M. Smith +16

The discovery rate of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is increasing dramatically thanks to new radio facilities. Meanwhile, wide-field instruments such as the 47 deg Zwicky Transient…

The Zwicky Transient Facility Census of the Local Universe I: Systematic search for Calcium rich gap transients reveal three related spectroscopic sub-classes

Kishalay De, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Anastasios Tzanidakis +47

(Abridged) Using the Zwicky Transient Facility alert stream, we are conducting a large campaign to spectroscopically classify all transients occurring in galaxies in the Census of…

The Broad-lined Ic Supernova ZTF18aaqjovh (SN 2018bvw): An Optically-discovered Engine-driven Supernova Candidate with Luminous Radio Emission

Anna Y. Q. Ho, Alessandra Corsi, S. Bradley Cenko +23

We present ZTF18aaqjovh (SN 2018bvw), a high-velocity ("broad-lined") stripped-envelope (Type Ic) supernova (Ic-BL SN) discovered in the Zwicky Transient Facility one-day cadence s…
