Discovery of a Fast Iron Low-ionization Outflow in the Early Evolution of the Nearby Tidal Disruption Event AT2019qiz

Tiara Hung, Ryan J. Foley, S. Veilleux +16

We report the results of ultraviolet (UV) and optical photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2019qiz. Our follow-up observations started 10…

TDE Hosts are Green and Centrally Concentrated: Signatures of a Post-Merger System

Erica Hammerstein, Suvi Gezari, Sjoert van Velzen +17

We study the properties of the galaxies hosting the first 19 tidal disruption events (TDEs) detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) within the context of a carefully cons…

A Family Tree of Optical Transients from Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies

Sara Frederick, Suvi Gezari, Matthew J. Graham +17

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) has discovered five new events belonging to an emerging class of AGN undergoing smooth flares with large amplitudes and rapid rise times. This s…

The Young Supernova Experiment: Survey Goals, Overview, and Operations

D. O. Jones, R. J. Foley, G. Narayan +68

Time domain science has undergone a revolution over the past decade, with tens of thousands of new supernovae (SNe) discovered each year. However, several observational domains, in…

Optical-Ultraviolet Tidal Disruption Events

Sjoert van Velzen, Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Francesca Onori +2

The existence of optical-ultraviolet Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) could be considered surprising because their electromagnetic output was originally predicted to be dominated by…

SN 2018ijp: the explosion of a stripped-envelope star within a dense H-rich shell?

L. Tartaglia, J. Sollerman, C. Barbarino +24

In this paper, we discuss the outcomes of the follow-up campaign of SN 2018ijp, discovered as part of the Zwicky Transient Facility survey for optical transients. Its first spectru…
