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

The Zwicky Transient Facility: Data Processing, Products, and Archive

TL;DR: The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) as mentioned in this paper is a robotic time-domain survey currently in progress using the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt Telescope, which uses a 600 megapixel camera to scan the entire northern visible sky at rates of ~3760 square degrees/hour.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Zwicky Transient Facility: Data Processing, Products, and Archive

TL;DR: The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new robotic time-domain survey currently in progress using the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt Telescope, and the Science Data System that is housed at IPAC, Caltech is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

197 candidates and 104 validated planets in K2's first five fields

Ian J. M. Crossfield, +52 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first year of the NASA K2 mission (Campaigns 0-4) was used to discover 197 candidates for Earth-like planets, with the results of an intensive program of photometric analyses, stellar spectroscopy, high-resolution imaging and statistical validation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robotic Laser Adaptive Optics Imaging of 715 Kepler Exoplanet Candidates Using Robo-AO

TL;DR: The Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey as mentioned in this paper is observing every Kepler planet candidate host star with laser adaptive optics imaging to search for blended nearby stars, which may be physically associated companions and/or responsible for transit false positives.
