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.

TL;DR: Observations and physical modelling of a rapidly fading electromagnetic transient in the galaxy NGC 4993, which is spatially coincident with GW170817, indicate that neutron-star mergers produce gravitational waves and radioactively powered kilonovae, and are a nucleosynthetic source of the r-process elements.

TL;DR: Wolf–Rayet-like wind signatures are identified, suggesting a progenitor of the WN(h) subclass (those WRSs with winds dominated by helium and nitrogen, with traces of hydrogen), consistent with recent theoretical predictions.
