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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

Stephen J. Smartt, +140 more
- 02 Nov 2017 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

PESSTO: survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects

Stephen J. Smartt, +114 more
TL;DR: The first data release (SSDR1) contains flux calibrated spectra from the first year (April 2012-2013), and a total of 221 confirmed supernovae were classified, and they released calibrated optical spectra and classifications publicly within 24 h of the data being taken as mentioned in this paper.
