Description
The study of transient phenomena in a multimessenger framework will remain a major driver of astrophysical discovery in the coming decades. Supernovae, Kilonovae, compact-object formation, Novae, Gamma-ray Bursts, and tidal disruption events connect electromagnetic emission with gravitational waves and neutrinos. The key physics unfolds within minutes to hours, yet most surveys return to the same region of the sky only after days. As a result, we learn what happened and how often, but rarely how these events begin or how they link to other messengers. We propose shifting from triggered follow-up to continuous high-cadence monitoring, allowing us to detect stellar explosions at, or even before, their electromagnetic onset. Real-time monitoring turns time-domain astronomy from retrospective interpretation to predictive exploration.
