Fast Blue Optical Transients
A new class of transients - Fast Blue Optical Transients - has recently been discovered, with around 5 such objects observationally confirmed. As yet, there is no fully fleshed-out theoretical explanation for these objects. What are the host galaxies? The energetics? The time-scales? How can we move forward with the theory?
