Zwicky Transient Facility
Приєднався 9 лют 2021
Lots is happening in the vast and dark universe and ZTF is there to see it!
ZTF stands for Zwicky Transient Facility - a large camera mounted on the 48-inch telescope at the Palomar Observatory in Southern California, managed and operated by Caltech. ZTF has a very wide field of view and scans the entire sky every three days in search of cosmic flares, flashes and anything else that changes in the universe. Funded by the National Science Foundation and partners from around the world, ZTF will produce a unique survey of cosmic transients allowing astronomers to expand our knowledge of the dynamic universe.

Deciphering the origin story of a faint and fast evolving supernova SN 2023zaw
Переглядів 2462 місяці тому
This ZTF science vlog takes you through the solving of a particular cosmic mystery, the explosion of supernovae ZTF2023zaw. In the role of a lead detector, we have the Caltech PhD student Kaustav Das who will show you the steps scientists take to unravel the bits of unknown sprinkled in the universe. ZTF2023zaw seems to be an ultra-stripped, nickel poor supernovae from a low mass progenitor. Wh...
A new discovery tool for Galactic X-ray sources
Переглядів 1835 місяців тому
In this science vlog, PhD student Tony Rodriguez at Caltech presents a new tool for the quick identification of Galactic X-ray sources. The tool combines data from optical surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility and X-ray data to identify classes of X-ray galactic objects in our Galaxy. The paper is now published (open access) in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific at iopscience.iop.o...
