Title:
Some new directions in cosmology and astrophysics

Abstract:
We revisit some modern problems on dark energy and extreme transient events, the first in cosmology at accelerations below the de Sitter scale cH, where c is the velocity of light and H is the Hubble parameter, the second as targets of opportunity for the Japanese gravitational-wave detector KAGRA in conjunction with LIGO-Virgo.
