TL;DR: In this article, rotation periods for 40 late-K to mid-M star members of the nearby, rich, intermediate-age (600 Myr) open cluster Praesepe were derived from 200 observations taken by the Palomar Transient Factory of four cluster fields from 2010 February to May.

Kasliwal,Robert Quimby +24 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) provides multiple epoch imaging for a large fraction of the sky, and the calibration process utilizes SDSS r~16 mag point source objects as photometric standards.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented pre-and post-outburst observations of the new FU Orionis-like young stellar object PTF 10qpf (also known as LkHa 188-G4 and HBC 722).

TL;DR: In this article, ground-based and Swift observations of iPTF16fnl, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey at 666 Mpc, were presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN) was discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory: iPTF13ajg. At a redshift of z=0.7403, derived from narrow absorption lines, iPTF 13ajg peaked at an absolute magnitude M(u,AB)=-22.5, one of the most luminous supernovae to date.
