Probing the extragalactic fast transient sky at minute time-scales with DECam

Probing the extragalactic fast transient sky at minute time-scales with DECam

Searches for optical transients are usually performed with a cadence of days to weeks, optimised for supernova discovery. The optical fast transient sky is still largely unexplored, with only a few surveys to date having placed meaningful constraints on the detection of extragalactic transients evolving at sub-hour timescales. Here, we …
