About ZTF_RB_Project
Zwicky Transient Facility
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new time-domain survey that will have first light at Palomar Observatory in 2017. Building on the highly successful legacy of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), ZTF will use a new camera with a 47 square degree field of view mounted on the Samuel Oschin 48-inch Schmidt telescope. ZTF's extremely wide field and fast readout electronics will enable a survey more than an order of magnitude faster than that of PTF.
By scanning more than 3750 square degrees an hour to a depth of 20.5-21 mag, ZTF will discover a young supernova less than 24 hours after its explosion each night and search for rare and exotic transients. Repeated imaging of the Northern sky (including the Galactic Plane) will produce a photometric variability catalog with nearly 300 observations each year, ideal for studies of variable stars, binaries, AGN, and asteroids.
