Transients in the wide-field sky survey era
Invited
Wide-area transient surveys that scan the sky at high cadence are revolutionising our understanding of extragalactic transients and the processes by which they explode. In this talk I will highlight the recent progress that has been made in optical transient surveys and discuss some of the exotic and unexplained transients that are testing our understanding of explosion models and the many ways that stars can die.
