Intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs) refer to a class of astronomical events characterized by significant increases in optical brightness over relatively short timescales, typically lasting from days to weeks. These transients are believed to occur in a variety of contexts, but they are often associated with the explosive or eruptive activity of massive stars, particularly those in the later stages of their evolution.
