Abstracts

Radio transients and variables with MeerKAT (P.Woudt)

Commensal searches for transients and variables in radio image-plane data is opening up discovery space for new and unusual radio transients, making current and future surveys on SKA pathfinders - and the SKA in the near future - effective transient discovery machines. In this talk I will give some examples of recent commensal transient discoveries with MeerKAT and discuss some key parameters in characterising variability in radio image-plane data.

The ASKAP Variables and Slow Transients Survey (D.Dobie)

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a next-generation GHz-frequency telescope with a 30 square degree field of view. The Variables And Slow Transients project is one of the ASKAP Survey Science Projects that will commence observing in late 2022. In this talk I will outline the work completed to-date as part of pilot surveys carried out over the past 3 years, the infrastructure that we are developing to deal with the enormous volume of data that the full survey will produce.
