The Zwicky Transient Facility Camera

TL;DR: The Zwicky Transient Facility Camera (ZTFC) as discussed by the authors is a key element of the ZTF Observing System, the integrated system of optoelectromechanical instrumentation tasked to acquire the wide-field, high-cadence time-domain astronomical data at the heart of the zwicky transient facility.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Twilight Search for Atiras, Vatiras, and Co-orbital Asteroids: Preliminary Results

TL;DR: The ZTF twilight survey operates at solar elongations down to 35° with a limiting magnitude of r = 19.5, and during a total of 40 evening sessions and 62 morning sessions conducted between 2018 November 15 and 2019 June 23, they detected six Atiras, including two new discoveries, 2019 AQ3 and 2019 LF6, but no Vatiras or Earth/Venus co-orbital asteroids as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pre-discovery Activity of New Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov beyond 5 au

TL;DR: Bolin et al. as discussed by the authors presented a search for pre-discovery detections of comet Borisov using images taken by the Catalina Sky Survey, Pan-STARRS, and the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), with a further comprehensive follow-up campaign being presented in 2019 May.
Journal ArticleDOI

DeepStreaks: identifying fast-moving objects in the Zwicky Transient Facility data with deep learning

TL;DR: DeepStreaks as discussed by the authors is a convolutional-neural-network, deep-learning system designed to efficiently identify streaking fast-moving near-Earth objects that are detected in the data of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a wide-field, time-domain survey using a dedicated 47 deg2 camera attached to the Samuel Oschin 48-inch Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States.
