This project will make use of a combination of simulated data and real space telescope observations to probe the population of extreme-environment transient events in the universe. The student will develop models of different transient phenomena and use these to inject simulated events into real data from the Swift satellite. They will then use these to quantitatively explore the efficacy of the transient-detection pipelines created at the University of Leicester. They will then use these results to identify real transients in the archive of Swift data, classify them, and probe the extreme-environment physics they reveal. The primary source of data will be from the Swift satellite, which are public; the thesis and and journal papers will be published open access and made available through the University of Leicester Research Archive.

该项目将利用模拟数据和真实空间望远镜观察的组合来探测宇宙中极端环境瞬态事件的种群。学生将开发不同瞬态现象的模型，并使用这些模型将模拟事件注入Swift卫星的真实数据中。然后，他们将使用它们定量探索在莱斯特大学创建的瞬态检测管道的功效。然后，他们将使用这些结果来识别Swift数据档案中的真实瞬变，对它们进行分类并探测它们显示的极端环境物理。数据的主要来源将来自公开的Swift卫星；论文和期刊论文将发表开放访问，并通过莱斯特大学研究档案馆提供。
