Transient Discovery

Transient Discovery is a systematic observational process in survey astronomy that identifies and characterizes previously undetected astronomical events or objects exhibiting significant temporal variability in brightness, position, or spectral properties, distinguishing it from static source detection and permanent cataloging efforts by focusing on ephemeral phenomena.
