Monitoring The Low Frequency Radio Transient Sky With The Long Wavelength Array, Savin Shynu Varghese
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
Transient searches in radio astronomy have discovered some of the most extreme astrophysical phenomena in our universe. This has enabled us to study the physics of these explosive and dynamic sources. Most of the transient searches over the past 70 years have been at frequencies higher than 100 MHz leaving the transient sky below 100 MHz unexplored. The Long Wavelength Array (LWA) telescope offers an excellent opportunity to study the transient sky below 100 MHz with its wide field of view, high sensitivity and fast imaging at shorter timescales. This dissertation presents the transient searches carried out using the all-sky …
