FLAMINGOS-2 infrared photometry of 2I/Borisov
Chien-Hsiu Lee, Hsing-Wen Lin, Ying-Tung Chen +1
2I/Borisov is the second interstellar object (ISO) after 'Oumuamua (Meech et al. 2017), but differs from 'Oumuamua drastically with its extensive cometary activity. A key ingredien…
OSSOS XVIII: Constraining migration models with the 2:1 resonance using the Outer Solar System Origins Survey
Ying-Tung Chen, Brett Gladman, Kathryn Volk +13
Resonant dynamics plays a significant role in the past evolution and current state of our outer Solar System. The population ratios and spatial distribution of Neptune's resonant p…
Asteroid Discovery and Light Curve Extraction Using the Hough Transform -- A Rotation Period Study for Sub-Kilometer Main-Belt Asteroids
Kai-Jie Lo, Chan-Kao Chang, Hsing-Wen Lin +8
The intra-night trajectories of asteroids can be approximated by straight lines, and so are their intra-night detections. Therefore, the Hough transform, a line detecting algorithm…
Trans-Neptunian objects found in the first four years of the Dark Energy Survey
Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Gary M. Bernstein, Masao Sako +61
We present a catalog of 316 trans-Neptunian bodies detected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). These objects include 245 discoveries by DES (139 not previously published) detected in…
Towards Efficient Detection of Small Near-Earth Asteroids Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF)
Quanzhi Ye, Frank J. Masci, Hsing Wen Lin +23
We describe ZStreak, a semi-real-time pipeline specialized in detecting small, fast-moving near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that is currently operating on the data from the newly-commis…
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…
Machine Learning for the Zwicky Transient Facility
Ashish Mahabal, Umaa Rebbapragada, Richard Walters +47
The Zwicky Transient Facility is a large optical survey in multiple filters producing hundreds of thousands of transient alerts per night. We describe here various machine learning…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
Searching for Super-Fast Rotators Using the Pan-STARRS 1
Chan-Kao Chang, Hsing-Wen Lin, Wing-Huen Ip +9
A class of asteroids, called large super-fast rotators (large SFRs), have rotation periods shorter than 2 hours and diameters larger than ~ 0.3 km. They pose challenges to the usua…
