The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Detection of mm-wave transient sources

Sigurd Naess, Nick Battaglia, J. Richard Bond +29

We report on the serendipitous discovery of three transient mm-wave sources using data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. The first, detected at RA = 273.8138, dec = -49.4628 at…
