Explosive astrophysical events are critical to understand what the Universe is made of and its physics. This project aims to single out the most exciting exploding stars and extreme events out of the millions detected each night at the world’s largest optical telescope. It will magnify Australian leadership and optimise investment in astronomical facilities by obtaining unique information before these events fade forever. Expected outcomes include improved knowledge on the nature of exploding stars and the discovery of new events and physical processes. It will benefit the Australian community at large by training young Australians in data-intensive technologies required to lead ground-breaking research and advance our innovative economy.

爆炸性天体物理事件对于理解宇宙是由什么组成及其物理性质至关重要。该项目旨在从世界上最大的光学望远镜每晚探测到的数百万颗恒星中挑选出最令人兴奋的爆炸恒星和极端事件。它将扩大澳大利亚的领导地位，并通过在这些事件永远消失之前获得独特的信息来优化对天文设施的投资。预期成果包括增进对爆炸恒星性质的了解，发现新的事件和物理过程。它将通过培训澳大利亚年轻人掌握引领突破性研究和推动我们的创新经济所需的数据密集型技术，使整个澳大利亚社会受益。
