Progenitor and Close-In Circumstellar Medium of Type II Supernova 2020fqv from High-Cadence Photometry and Ultra-Rapid UV Spectroscopy

Samaporn Tinyanont, Ryan Ridden-Harper, Ryan Foley +35

We present observations of SN 2020fqv, a Virgo-cluster Type II core-collapse supernova (CCSN) with a high temporal resolution light curve from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satel…

Faintest of them all : ZTF 21aaoryiz/SN 2021fcg -- Discovery of an extremely low luminosity type Iax supernova

Viraj R. Karambelkar, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Kate Maguire +20

We present the discovery of ZTF 21aaoryiz/SN 2021fcg -- an extremely low-luminosity Type Iax supernova. SN 2021fcg was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility in the star-formi…

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…

Time-series and Phasecurve Photometry of Episodically-Active Asteroid (6478) Gault in a Quiescent State Using APO, GROWTH, P200 and ZTF

Josiah N. Purdum, Zhong-Yi Lin, Bryce T. Bolin +49

We observed Episodically Active Asteroid (6478) Gault in 2020 with multiple telescopes in Asia and North America and have found that it is no longer active after its recent outburs…

Outbursting Young Stellar Object PGIR 20dci in the Perseus Arm

Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Kishalay De, Matthew Hankins +9

We report the discovery of a likely outbursting Class I young stellar object, associated with the star-forming region NGC 281-W (distance kpc). The source is currently s…

Infrared Spectropolarimetric Detection of Intrinsic Polarization from a Core-Collapse Supernova

Samaporn Tinyanont, Maxwell Millar-Blanchaer, Mansi Kasliwal +8

Massive stars die an explosive death as a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). The exact physical processes that cause the collapsing star to rebound into an explosion are not well-unde…
