Fast-transient searches in real time with ZTFReST: identification of three optically discovered gamma-ray burst afterglows and new constraints on the kilonova rate
The most common way to discover extragalactic fast transients, which fade within a few
nights in the optical, is via follow-up of gamma-ray burst and gravitational-wave triggers …
