Rapid Response Triggering for Radio Transients with the SKA Observatory
G. E. Anderson, S. I. Chastain, A. P. Curtin +10
Rapid-response triggering is when a telescope is able to automatically respond to an external or internal astronomical transient alert, causing it to rapidly repoint at that positi…
Enabling population studies on wind-driven Galactic binary systems
B. Marcote, P. Benaglia, V. Bosch-Ramon +8
Galactic binaries driven by stellar wind shocks, such as colliding wind binaries (CWBs) and gamma-ray binaries (gBs), harbor one of the most efficient particle acceleration engines…
The Astrophysics of Fast Radio Bursts
Alice P. Curtin, Marcin GawroÅski, Jason Hessels +11
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide a glimpse of high-energy astrophysical phenomena in other galaxies. They point the way to extreme conditions that are currently undetectable by any…
Gamma-ray Bursts in the Radio Sky: the Role of the SKA-VLBI
Stefano Giarratana, Om Sharan Salafia, Xue-Feng Wu +6
Radio observations of -ray bursts (GRBs) employing the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique provide us with fundamental information on the dynamics and the geomet…
Transforming X-ray Binary Astrophysics with SKA+VLBI
Tao An, Ailing Wang, James C. A. Miller-Jones +6
X-ray binaries (XRBs) are unique laboratories where accretion, jets, strong gravity and magnetic fields can be probed on humanly tractable timescales. The phased SKA-Mid operating…
VLBI Observations of SN 2012au Reveal a Compact Radio Source a Decade Post Explosion
Mattias Lazda, Kenzie Nimmo, Maria R. Drout +13
Three leading models have been put forth to justify the observed radio re-brightening associated with stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) years post-explosion: radiation from an e…
