Active MWA Transient Projects:
If you have an active MWA project relating to Transient Science and/or a planned publication, please list it on the following webpage and specifically indicate if it is a student project: Active Transient Projects and Publications
This webpage aims to communicate the current projects being undertaken by each member and to promote collaboration.
Members:
This is not an official membership list, just a list of people you might want to contact who regularly attend telecons.Currently, just those of whom have an account on the wiki - please add yourself here when you get an accountare actively interested in MWA Transient work.
Please also include your main MWA transient interests.
Gemma Elizabeth Anderson (Lead)
- MWA rapid-response (automated triggering) on high energy (GRBs, flare stars) and multi-messenger (GWs, FRBs, neutrinos) transients using the standard corrector and VCS.
- Stokes V detections of flare stars.
- Blind survey transient detections in both the image-plane and VCS data.
- Ultra-long period transients.
- MWA rapid-response (automated triggering) on high energy triggers from flare stars using the standard corrector and VCS.
- Polarised detections (linear and circular) of flare stars.
- Synergies with imaging surveys

Collaboration Policy:
Our collaboration policy document can be found at /wiki/spaces/MP/pages/24970187.
For the policy surrounding the interruptibility and priorisation of triggered MWA observation on external transient events using the MWA rapid-response capability, please see point 16 in the MWA Time Allocation Policy.
Meetings:
Please note that our We hold monthly telecon meetings are currently on hold.Previously telecons were held on the second Tuesday of each month at 01:00UT. See Telecon Connection Details for instructions to connectusually at 00:00 UT on the second Thursday of the month. However, this time is variable and depends on topics and availability across time zones.
The minutes from previous meetings are available at Transients Meeting Minutes
