observatories such as the Large Synoptic Survey
Telescope\cite{Tyson:2002} are expected to reveal many new examples of
such astrophysical transients. \HST is not an efficient wide-field
survey telescope, but
in the HFF program
nevertheless opened a small
window the combination of
discovery for such events. Very faint sources at relatively
high redshift ($z\gtrsim1$) in these fields are made detectable by
gravitational lensing magnification
from the foreground galaxy
clusters. The necessity of and a rapid
observation cadence
for repeat imaging in the
HFF program also
made it
more likely possible to catch
very intrinsically faint and rapidly evolving
transient sources.
With In this
confluence of factors, way the HFF survey
provides has provided a glimpse
of the potential discovery space available to high-cadence imaging
surveys in the future.

for an average of 80 days. Treating \spockone and \spocktwo as
separate events leads to a
very rough rate estimate of 1.5 \spock-like
events per galaxy per year.

\section{Discussion}\label{sec:Discussion}
We have examined three plausible explanations for the \spock
events:
(1) they were separate rapid outbursts of an LBV star, (2) they were
surface explosions from a single RN, or (3) they were each caused by
the rapidly changing magnification as two unrelated massive stars
crossed over lensing caustics. We events,
but we cannot make a definitive choice between
these hypotheses, principally owing to them, because of the
scarcity of observational data and the uncertainty in the location of
the lensing critical curves. If there is just a single critical curve
for a source at $z=1$
passing between the two \spock locations, then
our preferred explanation for the \spock events is that we have
observed two distinct eruptive episodes from a massive LBV star.
In this scenario, the \spock LBV
system would most likely have exhibited multiple eruptions over the
last few years, but most of them were missed, as they landed within
the large gaps of the \HST Frontier Fields imaging program. The \spock
events These
would be extreme LBV outbursts in several dimensions, and should add a
useful benchmark for the
outstanding theoretical challenge of developing a
comprehensive physical model that accommodates both the \etacar-like
great eruptions and the S Dor-type variation of LBVs.
If instead the \macs0416 lens has multiple critical curves that
intersect both \spock locations, then
the our third proposal of a
microlensing-generated transient would be preferred. Stellar caustic
crossings have not been observed before, but the analysis of a likely
candidate behind the MACSJ1149 cluster\citep{Kelly:2017} suggests that
massive cluster lenses may generate such events more frequently than
previously expected\citep{Kelly:2017, Diego:2017}. To resolve the
uncertainty of the \spock classification will require refinement of
the lens models to more fully address systematic biases and more
tightly constrain the path of the critical curve. High-cadence
monitoring of the \macs0416 field would also be valuable, as it could
catch future LBV eruptions or microlensing transients at or near these
locations.
