There are currently many large-field surveys operational and planned
including the powerful Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey for Space and Time
(LSST). These surveys will increase the number and diversity of transients
dramatically. However, for some transients, like supernovae (SNe), we can gain
more understanding by directed observations than by simply increasing the
sample size. For example, the initial emission from these transients can be a
powerful probe of these explosions. Upcoming ground-based detectors are not
ideally suited to observe the initial emission (shock emergence) of these
transients. These observations require a large field-of-view X-ray mission with
a UV follow up within the first hour of the event. The emission in the first
one hour to even one day provides strong constraints on the stellar radius and
asymmetries in the outer layers of stars, the properties of the circumstellar
medium (e.g. inhomogeneities in the wind for core-collapse SNe, accreting
companion in thermonuclear SNe), and the transition region between these two.
This paper describes a simulation for the number of SNe that could be seen by a
large field of view lobster eye X-ray and UV observatory.
