摘要
兹威基瞬变设施（ZTF）是一项公私合作项目，是一种新的时域巡天，采用位于帕洛玛48英寸施密特望远镜上的专用相机，视场为47 deg，读出时间为8秒。它在时域天文学的发展中处于有利位置，以单台1米级巡天望远镜以大型综合巡天望远镜（LSST）10%的规模和方式开展观测。公开巡天将每三晚在g和r滤光片下覆盖可观测北天，并每晚在g和r下覆盖可见银道面。这些巡天生成的警报实时发送给 brokers。提供资金的大学联盟（“合作组”）正在进行若干定制巡天。这些巡天组合每夜产生一百万条警报，使得能够在分钟到年的时标上探索比r 20.5更亮的瞬变与变源天体物理现象。我们描述了驱动ZTF的主要科学目标，包括超新星与相对论性爆炸的物理、多信使天体物理、超新星宇宙学、活动星系核与潮汐瓦解事件、恒星变率以及太阳系天体。
