| Outline of Research at the Start |
A transient with fast brightness variance in UV/optical wavelengths ("fast transient") is of great interest in time-domain astronomy as their extreme properties not only relate to various aspects of astrophysics but help us to understand fundamental issues in cosmology. By carrying out innovative survey projects that are optimized to study fast transients with world-class survey facilities and follow-up network, we will carry out systematical studies of fast transients obtained from ongoing and forthcoming surveys. New findings of these intriguing transients can be expected in the near future.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
A series of observations were carried out with Japanese observing facilities (e.g., Subaru/HSC, Seimei/TriCCS) in FY2022. A dozen of early-phase supernovae have been discovered and follow-up observations have been carried out via international collaborations successfully.
With a promising number of early-phase type Ia supernovae discovered in FY2022, the long-standing progenitor and explosion issues of type Ia supernovae can be further investigated. Moreover, over ten early-phase core-collapse supernovae and two fast blue ultra-luminous transient candidates have been successfully discovered in the 2022 observing campaign of our survey project (MUSSES). Total five papers related to different kinds of fast transients have been published in FY2022.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
A promising number of fast transients have been successfully discovered. By combining the current sample with early-phase supernovae discovered in the future observations, further understandings of the progenitor and explosion physics of supernovae can be achieved through statistical analysis. One scientific paper with data taken from Subaru has been published and a few more papers are in preparation, indicating the great advantage of carrying out not only supernova but other transient studies through our project. Moreover, several papers by collaborating with other observing facilities have been published and more scientific outputs can be expected once scheduled observations with the next generation ground-based and space-borne survey facilities are successfully carried out in FY2023.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Given the great advantage of studying fast transients with Japanese wide-field survey facilities, we plan to keep carrying out survey observations with Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam to study the nature of fast transients. At the meanwhile, international collaborations with upcoming survey facilities such as the 2.5-m Wide Field Survey Telescope and Einstein Probe, which are designed to study fast transients that show distinct variance in hours, minutes, or even seconds at different wavelength ranges. The origin of most previously discovered fast transients are still under debate and we expect to find hundreds of fast transients in the next few years. The great number of fast transients in the coming years will make our team a leading role of carrying out related studies in the world.
