Description
In this talk, we present the use of the VST to search for and study selected astrophysical explosions. The VST is one of the most powerful facilities for scanning wide regions of the southern sky and identifying transient phenomena. I will highlight several particularly interesting cases currently being pursued by the TNT group in Naples and describe our data reduction and analysis procedures, which have been specifically developed and optimized for transient studies with the VST
