MWA Transients 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.

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.
