The rapid development of dedicated large surveys for time-domain astronomy has revolutionized the discovery rate of cosmic explosions and other transient phenomena. The symposium, on June 13-14, collects observers and theorists to discuss the implications for astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics, as well as the open questions in the field.
A programme will be available soon.
If you are interested to give a contributed talk, please send a title and an abstract,
