  AM CVn systems are a rare type of accreting binary that consists of a white
dwarf and a helium-rich, degenerate donor star. Using the Zwicky Transient
Facility (ZTF), we searched for new AM CVn systems by focusing on blue,
outbursting stars. We first selected outbursting stars using the ZTF alerts. We
cross-matched the candidates with $Gaia$ and Pan-STARRS catalogs. The initial
selection of candidates based on the $Gaia$ $BP$-$RP$ contains 1751 unknown
objects. We used the Pan-STARRS $g$-$r$ and $r$-$i$ color in combination with
the $Gaia$ color to identify 59 high-priority candidates. We obtained
identification spectra of 35 sources, of which 18 are high priority candidates,
and discovered 9 new AM CVn systems and one magnetic CV which shows only He-II
lines. Using the outburst recurrence time, we estimate the orbital periods
which are in the range of 29 to 50 minutes. We conclude that targeted followup
of blue, outbursting sources is an efficient method to find new AM CVn systems,
and we plan to followup all candidates we identified to systematically study
the population of outbursting AM CVn systems.
