Scope
The First Taiwan PTF/iPTF Workshop is to provide a forum for the interaction of Taiwanese astronomers with international researchers on key topics of time-domain astronomy facilitated by the extremely rich data sources of the PTF/iPTF project. Newest results and developments from the PTF/iPTF observations will be presented. These include astrophysical transients like supernovae, GRBs, AGNs, variable stars like CVs, Cepheids,RR Lyrae, brown dwarfs, binaries, and flare stars, solar system objects like asteroids, near-Earth objects, comets and TNOs, and others. The enhancement of the ongoing iPTF observations will be presented and the science and technical plan of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) will be described at the workshop.
