A new radiative-diffusion framework couples magnetar spin-down, shock propagation, and radiative transport to produce double-peaked, merged, or single-peaked light curves in engine-powered transients, demonstrated on LSQ14bdq.

Uniform analysis of 25 events shows SNe Ibn, SNe Icn, and FBOTs overlap in peak luminosity, rise/decline times, colors, and fitted CSM/ejecta parameters, supporting a shared dense-CSM interaction framework for most but not the most extreme FBOTs.
The Via Project is a planned five-year dual-hemisphere spectroscopic survey targeting over 2 million stars with 100 m/s RV stability and transient spectroscopy to r~24 using instruments on MMT and Magellan/Clay telescopes starting in 2027.
TESS and ZTF observations of 12 LFBOTs yield no late-time flares after SSO attribution, constraining central engine lifetimes to hundreds of days or less.
