Measuring rapid astrophysical phenomena requires many short exposures, which suffer from repeated read noise. A variety of recent technologies are achieving sub-electron read noise, which enable rapid time-domain studies of faint sources. These data can be analyzed with traditional methods, but the ability to resolve i...

The Rapid Burster (MXB 1730$-$335) is the only known neutron star to produce both Type I and Type II X-ray bursts, making it a key system for understanding accretion physics onto neutron stars. It resides in Liller 1, a dense, metal-rich stellar system whose crowded core and $\sim$11 magnitudes of visual extinction hav...

The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a near-infrared time-domain survey instrument operating on a dedicated robotic 1 m telescope at Palomar Observatory. Since June of 2023, WINTER has surveyed the sky nightly to a median depth of JAB = 18.5 mag. The survey balances a variety of science programs, incl...

The Bulge Fossil Fragments Terzan 5 and Liller 1 host some of the densest stellar environments in the Galaxy, yet their variable star populations have remained largely unexplored due to crowding and heavy obscuration. Here, we identify 1,315 variable sources in these two systems in what is to our knowledge the first JW...
