A Golden Age for astrophysical transients: new results from Classical Novae and supernovae associated with gamma-ray bursts (no, it's not about kilonovae !)

In this seminar, I am going to present some recent outstanding results obtained from the observations and analysis of "extreme" astrophysical transients. This seminar will be composed of two-mini parts: in the first half, I'm going to illustrate recent observational evidences about the main role that Classical Novae play as lithium factories in the Universe, while in the second part I'll discuss the first detection of the presence of a jet-cocoon break-out in the early phases of a GRB emission. I will also focus on the importance and the consequences of these results and will indicate some interesting research work lines for the next years.
