A relatively simple model has emerged in recent years that can explain the bulk properties of high redshift galaxies: star formation is fueled by the inflow of pristine material from the intergalactic medium, and proceeds with an efficiency that depends strongly on the mass of a galaxy's parent d

Unbiased all-sky surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) or the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (PSST) have opened up the door for the discovery of new and exciting types of transients.
