It is well known that some massive stars end their lives with the formation of a compact object (a neutron star or black hole) that launches a relativistic jet detectable from earth as a burst of gamma rays. It has long been suspected, however, that gamma ray bursts are only the tip of the iceberg in a broad landscape of relativistic explosions, and so the results presented in this thesis represent a major breakthrough. Highlights of this thesis include: characterization of the first major new class of relativistic explosions in a decade; the discovery of abrupt end-of-life mass-loss in a surprisingly diverse range of stars; and the routine discovery of afterglow emission and several events that may represent baryonically dirty jets or jets viewed slightly off axis. These discoveries necessitated the solution of difficult technical challenges such as the identification of rare and fleeting "needles" in a vast haystack of time-varying phenomena in the night sky, and responding to discoveries within hours to obtain data across the electromagnetic spectrum from X-rays to radio wavelengths. . 001451111 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 17, 2022). 001451111 650_0 $$aStars. 001451111 650_0 $$aStellar activity. 001451111 650_0 $$aRelativistic astrophysics. 001451111 650_0 $$aGamma ray bursts. 001451111 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451111 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031153669$$z9783031153662$$w(OCoLC)1336953532 001451111 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 001451111 852__ $$bebk 001451111 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-15367-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451111 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451111$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451111 980__ $$aBIB 001451111 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451111 982__ $$aEbook 001451111 983__ $$aOnline 001451111 994__ $$a92$$bISE
