SUMMARY:Synergistic Transient Searches in the Ultraviolet and Optical\
 , Astronomy Colloquium\, Suvi Gezari\, Hubble Fellow\, John Hopkins
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by the successful discovery of UV/optical transi
 ents with serendipitous contemporaneous observations between the GALEX
  Deep Imaging Survey and the optical CFHT Legacy Deep Survey\, GALEX h
 as begun a dedicated time domain survey that operates in parallel with
  the Pan-STARRS Medium Deep Survey.  With simultaneous UV and optical 
 coverage of 7 deg2 of sky with a cadence of days\, we have the unique 
 ability to detect UV bright phenomena at early times\, including shock
  breakout and hot ejecta in core-collapse SNe\, as well as probe the s
 imultaneous UV and optical properties of variable AGNs and flares from
  dormant supermassive black holes caught in the act of tidally disrupt
 ing a star.  In this talk\, I will present our transient detection and
  classification methods and the first results of our survey.<br>
