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.

  1. Observational Properties of Nonthermal Emission from Relativistic Jets Escaping Active Galactic Nucleus Disks

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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...

  2. Observational Properties of Nonthermal Emission from Relativistic Jets Escaping Active Galactic Nucleus Disks

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Modeling of jets escaping AGN disks reveals distinct nonthermal emission signatures that support multi-messenger detection and diagnostics of the AGN environment.
