Abstract

For nearly a century two primary classes of optical transients - nova eruptions and supernova explosions - have been studied in detail. These transients occupy narrow ranges of absolute magnitudes, around -8 and -18 mag (+/-2 mag) respectively. However, nascent dedicated surveys (e.g. Pan-STARRS) are now revealing new classes of optical transients in the wide nova-SN gap and at very high luminosities (
