AtLAST Science Overview Report
Mark Booth, Pamela Klaassen, Claudia Cicone +81
Submillimeter and millimeter wavelengths provide a unique view of the Universe, from the gas and dust that fills and surrounds galaxies to the chromosphere of our own Sun. Current…
BURSTT: Bustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan
Hsiu-Hsien Lin, Kai-yang Lin, Chao-Te Li +44
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are bright millisecond-duration radio transients that appear about 1,000 times per day, all-sky, for a fluence threshold 5 Jy ms at 600 MHz. The FRB radio-…
Digital Instrumentation for the Radio Astronomy Community
Aaron Parsons, Dan Werthimer, Donald Backer +21
Time-to-science is an important figure of merit for digital instrumentation serving the astronomical community. A digital signal processing (DSP) community is forming that uses sha…
Studying Black Holes on Horizon Scales with VLBI Ground Arrays
Lindy Blackburn, Sheperd Doeleman, Jason Dexter +35
High-resolution imaging of supermassive black holes is now possible, with new applications to testing general relativity and horizon-scale accretion and relativistic jet formation…
The key science drivers for the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST)
Mark Booth, Pamela Klaassen, Claudia Cicone +14
Sub-mm and mm wavelengths provide a unique view of the Universe, from the gas and dust that fills and surrounds galaxies to the chromosphere of our own Sun. Current single-dish fac…
A Demonstration of Extremely Low Latency -ray, X-Ray & UV Follow-Up of a Millisecond Radio Transient
Aaron Tohuvavohu, Casey J. Law, Jamie A. Kennea +18
We report results of a novel high-energy follow-up observation of a potential Fast Radio Burst. The radio burst was detected by VLA/realfast and followed-up by the Neil Gehrels Swi…
The Greenland Telescope: Construction, Commissioning, and Operations in Pituffik
Ming-Tang Chen, Keiichi Asada, Satoki Matsushita +51
In 2018, the Greenland Telescope (GLT) started scientific observation in Greenland. Since then, we have completed several significant improvements and added new capabilities to the…
Large magnetic field variations towards the Galactic Centre magnetar, PSR J1745-2900
Gregory Desvignes, Ralph Eatough, Ue-Li Pen +13
Polarised radio emission from PSR J1745-2900 has already been used to investigate the strength of the magnetic field in the Galactic Centre, close to Sagittarius A*. Here we report…
CHIME/FRB Discovery of an Unusual Circularly Polarized Long-Period Radio Transient with an Accelerating Spin Period
Fengqiu Adam Dong, Kaitlyn Shin, Casey Law +20
We report the discovery of CHIME J1634+44, a Long Period Radio Transient (LPT) unique for two aspects: it is the first known LPT to emit fully circularly polarized radio bursts, an…
VLA/Realfast Detection of a Burst from FRB180916.J0158+65 and Tests for Periodic Activity
Kshitij Aggarwal, Casey J. Law, Sarah Burke-Spolaor +5
We report on the detection of a burst from FRB180916 by realfast/VLA and present software for interpreting fast radio bursts (FRB) periodicity. We demonstrate a range of periodicit…
