GRB 210704A at z=2.34 shows a luminous fast blue transient excess peaking at ~7 days, modeled as refreshed shock emission and linked to LFBOTs alongside a high-Lorentz-factor jet.
EP250827b/SN 2025wkm is a new X-ray flash–supernova whose long, soft X-ray burst and double-peaked, plateauing optical light curve are best explained by a magnetar central engine interacting with a low-mass circumstellar shell.
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.
High luminosities above 10^44 erg/s and compact radii below 10^14 cm suppress H and He lines via high ionization and temperature, with non-homologous compact outflows needed for persistent featurelessness in LFBOTs and TDEs.
BOOM is a new high-throughput alert broker using Rust, MongoDB, Valkey and Kafka that matches prior ZTF features at ~7x speed and is extended as Babamul for LSST's 20 million nightly alerts.
Lazuli is proposed as a space observatory combining flagship sensitivity with response times one to two orders of magnitude faster than current large facilities to enable new time-domain and multi-messenger science.
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.
