Funded Activity Summary
The radio transient sky in real time. This project plans to use three new Australian telescopes to conduct the most comprehensive search ever made for transient sources. Transient phenomena (astronomical objects that appear and disappear or change rapidly) are laboratories for exploring some of the most extreme processes in the Universe. Radio astronomy is on the verge of a revolution in the study of transients, made possible by new technology. The project aims to leverage the learnings from the new technology by developing intelligent algorithms able to extract weak signals from massive datasets to find rare and exotic objects ranging from extra-solar planets to gamma-ray bursts, exploring the unknown in ways that have previously not been possible. These algorithms may have broad impact in astronomy.Funded Activity Details
