Finding radio transients
- Abstract:
-
Modern radio telescopes are data-intensive machines, producing many TB of data every night. Amongst this deluge of data are transient and variable phenomena, whose study can shed new light on processes as varied as stellar dynamos and the accretion discs in supermassive black holes. In this work I demonstrate the applicability of different methods to the discovery of these astrophysical transients and variables coming from telescopes such as MeerKAT.
I first consider a standard a...
