Abstract

Gravitationally lensed supernovae (SNe) are rare and valuable probes of astrophysics and cosmology. While only seven lensed SNe have currently been discovered, these numbers are predicted to increase by orders of magnitudes with future transient surveys such as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). These proceedings describe the ongoing live search with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), including the discovery of SN ‘Zwicky’: a lensed SN found in a remarkably low-mass lens galaxy. Finally, we look ahead at predictions for detecting lensed SNe with LSST.
