Searching for Gravitational Wave Optical Counterparts with the Zwicky Transient Facility: Summary of O4a

Tomás Ahumada,
Shreya Anand,
Michael W. Coughlin
et al.

Abstract: During the first half of the fourth observing run (O4a) of the International Gravitational Wave Network, the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) conducted a systematic search for kilonova (KN) counterparts to binary neutron star (BNS) and neutron star–black hole (NSBH) merger candidates. Here, we present a comprehensive study of the five high-significance (False Alarm Rate less than 1 yr−1) BNS and NSBH candidates in O4a. Our follow-up campaigns relied on both target-of-opportunity observations and re-weighting of… Show more
