The Zwicky Transient Facility
read the original abstract
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a next-generation optical synoptic survey that builds on the experience and infrastructure of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). Using a new 47 deg$^2$ survey camera, ZTF will survey more than an order of magnitude faster than PTF to discover rare transients and variables. I describe the survey and the camera design. Searches for young supernovae, fast transients, counterparts to gravitational-wave detections, and rare variables will benefit from ZTF's high cadence, wide area survey.

Observational Properties of Nonthermal Emission from Relativistic Jets Escaping Active Galactic Nucleus Disks
Jets escaping AGN disks decelerate rapidly in the dense wind-like medium, producing a downshifted spectrum with strong synchrotron self-absorption that creates a quasi-thermal hump, yielding detectable multi-wavelengt...
