The Time Domain group currently works on a variety of explosive transients, including Galactic and extragalactic Novae, Type Ia Supernovae (SNe), Core Collapse Supernovae, and Gamma Rays Bursts (GRBs). Our research spans observations of the outbursts of these systems, the resulting remnants, their galactic environments, population statistics, and their progenitors. Theoretically, we investigate and model the fundamental mechanisms driving these phenomena. We are also investigating electromagnetic (EM) counterparts of gravitational wave (GW) sources.
The fully robotic Liverpool Telescope is the workhorse facility of the Time Domain group. Members of the Time Domain group are involved of a number of major international observational survey projects such as PESSTO. We have partnerships with ZTF and LCGOT, and are heavily involved in Swift observing programmes.
