The luminous and rapidly evolving SN 2018bcc: Clues toward the origin of Type Ibn SNe from the Zwicky Transient Facility

E. Karamehmetoglu, C. Fransson, J. Sollerman +20

Supernovae (SNe) Type Ibn are rapidly evolving and bright (M ) transients interacting with He-rich circumstellar material (CSM). SN 2018bcc, detected by th…

General relativistic orbital decay in a seven-minute-orbital-period eclipsing binary system

Kevin B. Burdge, Michael W. Coughlin, Jim Fuller +23

General relativity predicts that short orbital period binaries emit significant gravitational radiation, and the upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to d…

GROWTH on S190425z: Searching thousands of square degrees to identify an optical or infrared counterpart to a binary neutron star merger with the Zwicky Transient Facility and Palomar Gattini IR

Michael W. Coughlin, Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand +76

The third observing run by LVC has brought the discovery of many compact binary coalescences. Following the detection of the first binary neutron star merger in this run (LIGO/Virg…

A new class of pulsating hot subdwarfs

Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Kevin B. Burdge +22

Using high-cadence observations from the Zwicky Transient Facility at low Galactic latitudes, we have discovered a new class of pulsating, hot, compact stars. We have found four ca…

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…

A New Class of Changing-Look LINERs

Sara Frederick, Suvi Gezari, Matthew J. Graham +28

We report the discovery of six active galactic nuclei (AGN) caught "turning on" during the first nine months of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey. The host galaxies were c…
