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 are actively interested in MWA Transient work.

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 usually at 00:00 UT on the second Tuesday Thursday of each the month at 01:00UT. See Telecon Connection Details for instructions to connect. 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
