The zwicky transient facility: System overview, performance, and first results

Eric C. Bellm, +121 more
TL;DR: The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) as mentioned in this paper is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48 inch Schmidt telescope, which provides a 47 deg^2 field of view and 8 s readout time, yielding more than an order of magnitude improvement in survey speed relative to its predecessor survey.

The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives

Matthew J. Graham, +116 more
TL;DR: The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) as discussed by the authors is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2$ field of view and 8 second readout time.

On the nucleus structure and activity of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Holger Sierks, +70 more
- 23 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: Images from the OSIRIS scientific imaging system onboard Rosetta show that the nucleus of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko consists of two lobes connected by a short neck, which raises the question of whether the two Lobes represent a contact binary formed 4.5 billion years ago, or a single body where a gap has evolved via mass loss.

TL;DR: In this article, the GIADA (Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator) experiment on the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft orbiting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was used to detect 35 outflowing grains of mass 10−10 to 10−7 kilograms.
