Abstract: We present measurements of the local core-collapse supernova (CCSN) rate using SN discoveries from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We use a Monte Carlo simulation of hundreds of millions of SN light-curve realizations coupled with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz241
Abstract: We present results of the Sky2Night project: a systematic, unbiased search for fast optical transients with the Palomar Transient Factory. We have observed 407deg2 in R-band for eight nights at a cadence of 2 h. During… read more here.
