      abstract     = {The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is
                      scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2027. It
                      will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field
                      of view (204 deg$^2$) and near-ultraviolet (NUV; 230–290
                      nm) sensitivity (22.5 mag, 5σ, at 900 s). ULTRASAT will
                      conduct the first wide-field survey of transient and
                      variable NUV sources and will revolutionize our ability to
                      study the hot transient Universe. It will explore a new
                      parameter space in energy and timescale (months-long light
                      curves with minutes cadence), with an extragalactic volume
                      accessible for the discovery of transient sources that is
                      >300 times larger than that of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer
                      (GALEX) and comparable to that of the Vera Rubin
                      Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time. ULTRASAT
                      data will be transmitted to the ground in real time, and
                      transient alerts will be distributed to the community in <15
                      minutes, enabling vigorous ground-based follow up of
                      ULTRASAT sources. ULTRASAT will also provide an all-sky NUV
                      image to >23.5 AB mag, over 10 times deeper than the GALEX
                      map. Two key science goals of ULTRASAT are the study of
                      mergers of binaries involving neutron stars, and supernovae.
                      With a large fraction (>50\%) of the sky instantaneously
                      accessible, fast (minutes) slewing capability, and a field
                      of view that covers the error ellipses expected from
                      gravitational-wave (GW) detectors beyond 2026, ULTRASAT will
                      rapidly detect the electromagnetic emission following binary
                      neutron star/neutron star–black hole mergers identified by
                      GW detectors, and will provide continuous NUV light curves
                      of the events. ULTRASAT will provide early (hour) detection
                      and continuous high-cadence (minutes) NUV light curves for
                      hundreds of core-collapse supernovae, including for rarer
                      supernova progenitor types.},
