Palomar Observatory, located atop Palomar Mountain in north San Diego County, California, is a center of astronomical research owned and operated by Caltech. Conceived of almost a hundred years ago, Palomar Observatory has been at the forefront of …

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a public-private partnership aimed at a systematic study of the optical night sky. Using an extremely wide-field of view camera, ZTF scans the entire Northern sky every two days.

The ZTF Observing System delivers efficient, high-cadence, wide-field-of-view, multi-band optical imagery for time-domain astrophysics analysis. It is installed on the 48 inch Samuel Oschin Telescope (Schmidt-type) at the Palomar Observatory.

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF, obs. code: I41) is a wide-field sky astronomical survey using a new camera attached to the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, United States.

(2018 – present) The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF): Armed with the ZTF camera, the Oschin Telescope robotically scans the sky every clear night looking for transients.

Mar 17, 2018 · ZTF is a fully-automated, wide-field survey aimed at a systematic exploration of the optical transient sky. Survey Coverage: Approximately 25,000 to 30,000 square degrees, the Northern sky visible from Palomar Observatory.

Nov 14, 2017 · The recently installed camera is part of a new automated sky-survey project called the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), based at Caltech's Palomar Observatory located in the mountains near San Diego.

Building on the highly successful legacy of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), ZTF uses a new camera with a 47 square degree field of view mounted on the Samuel Oschin 48-inch (1.2m) Schmidt telescope.

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new time-domain survey that had first light at Palomar Observatory in 2017. Building on the highly successful legacy of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), ZTF uses a new camera with a 47 square degree field of view mounted on the Samuel Oschin 48-inch Schmidt telescope.
