The prevalence and influence of circumstellar material around hydrogen-rich supernova progenitors
Rachel J. Bruch, Avishay Gal-Yam, Ofer Yaron +44
Narrow transient emission lines (flash-ionization features) in early supernova (SN) spectra trace the presence of circumstellar material (CSM) around the massive progenitor stars o…
Supernova 2020wnt: An Atypical Superluminous Supernova with a Hidden Central Engine
Samaporn Tinyanont, Stan E. Woosley, Kirsty Taggart +34
We present observations of a peculiar hydrogen- and helium-poor stripped-envelope (SE) supernova (SN) 2020wnt, primarily in the optical and near-infrared (near-IR). Its peak absolu…
SNGuess: A method for the selection of young extragalactic transients
N. Miranda, J. C. Freytag, J. Nordin +7
With a rapidly rising number of transients detected in astronomy, classification methods based on machine learning are increasingly being employed. Their goals are typically to obt…
SN 2019zrk, a bright SN 2009ip analog with a precursor
Claes Fransson, Jesper Sollerman, Nora L. Strotjohann +12
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type IIn supernova SN 2019zrk (also known as ZTF20aacbyec). The SN shows a 100 day precursor, with a slow ris…
Neutrino follow-up with the Zwicky Transient Facility: Results from the first 24 campaigns
Robert Stein, Simeon Reusch, Anna Franckowiak +33
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) performs a systematic neutrino follow-up program, searching for optical counterparts to high-energy neutrinos with dedicated Target-of-Opportuni…
The Final Season Reimagined: 30 Tidal Disruption Events from the ZTF-I Survey
Erica Hammerstein, Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari +30
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique way to study dormant black holes. While the number of observed TDEs has grown thanks to the emergence of wide-field surveys in the pas…
