Scientific paper

Exploration of the time domain is now one of the most vibrant research frontiers in astronomy. Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey (CRTS) covers approx. 3/4 of the entire sky repeatedly, with time baselines ranging from minutes to years. To date, over 2000 unique optical transients have been discovered, including supernovae, blazars, CVs, other types of variable stars and AGN, etc. Many of them are followed up by multi-wavelength observations. In a systematic exploration of the observable parameter space like this, there is a possibility of discovering previously unknown types of objects and phenomena.
