A highly magnetised and rapidly rotating white dwarf as small as the Moon
Ilaria Caiazzo, Kevin B. Burdge, James Fuller +15
White dwarfs represent the last stage of evolution of stars with mass less than about eight times that of the Sun and, like other stars, are often found in binaries. If the orbital…
Large Adaptive Optics Survey for Substellar Objects (LASSO) Around Young, Nearby, Low-mass Stars with Robo-AO
Maissa Salama, James Ou, Christoph Baranec +16
We present results from the Large Adaptive optics Survey for Substellar Objects (LASSO), where the goal is to directly image new substellar companions (<70 M) at wide orbit…
Zwicky Transient Facility and Globular Clusters: the Period-Luminosity and Period-Luminosity-Color Relations for Late-Type Contact Binaries
Chow-Choong Ngeow, Szu-Han Liao, Eric C. Bellm +7
In this work, we aimed to derive the -band period-luminosity (PL) and period-luminosity-color (PLC) relations for late-type contact binaries, for the first time, located in th…
A systematic search for outbursting AM CVn systems with the Zwicky Transient Facility
Jan van Roestel, Leah Creter, Thomas Kupfer +15
AM CVn systems are a rare type of accreting binary that consists of a white dwarf and a helium-rich, degenerate donor star. Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we searched f…
Year 1 of the ZTF high-cadence Galactic Plane Survey: Strategy, goals, and early results on new single-mode hot subdwarf B-star pulsators
Thomas Kupfer, Thomas A. Prince, Jan van Roestel +18
We present the goals, strategy and first results of the high-cadence Galactic plane survey using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). The goal of the survey is to unveil the Galact…
Fast-transient Searches in Real Time with ZTFReST: Identification of Three Optically-discovered Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows and New Constraints on the Kilonova Rate
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Erik C. Kool +32
While optical surveys regularly discover slow transients like supernovae on their own, the most common way to discover extragalactic fast transients, fading away in a few nights, i…
