Discovery of Minute-timescale Optical Flares with Supernova-like Luminosities at the Position of the Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2022tsd (the "Tasmanian Devil")
Abstract
We report the detection of several minute-timescale optical flares with vLv~10^43 erg/s at the position of the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT2022tsd (the "Tasmanian Devil"), occurring 30-100 days after the original LFBOT event.
