Discovery Early Career Researcher Award - Grant ID: DE180100346

Funded Activity Summary

Probing extreme astrophysics via rapid response to cosmic explosions. This project aims to reveal the radio emission properties of particular classes of gravitational wave events through the utilisation and further development of rapid-response observing systems on Australian radio telescopes. The project will use Australian radio telescopes to rapidly and automatically obtain observations of short-duration gamma-ray bursts, which are thought to be a subclass of gravitational wave events. It is anticipated such observations will provide vital insight into the early-time radio signatures of gravitational wave events and that rapid-response experiments will contribute invaluable knowledge towards optimising transient science conducted with the Square Kilometre Array.
