Identifying transient and variable sources in radio images

Antonia Rowlinson, Adam J. Stewart, Jess W. Broderick +16

With the arrival of a number of wide-field snapshot image-plane radio transient surveys, there will be a huge influx of images in the coming years making it impossible to manually…

RFI Flagging Implications for Short-Duration Transients

Y. Cendes, P. Prasad, A. Rowlinson +24

With their wide fields of view and often relatively long coverage of any position in the sky in imaging survey mode, modern radio telescopes provide a data stream that is naturally…

Low-radio-frequency eclipses of the redback pulsar J2215+5135 observed in the image plane with LOFAR

J. W. Broderick, R. P. Fender, R. P. Breton +30

The eclipses of certain types of binary millisecond pulsars (i.e. `black widows' and `redbacks') are often studied using high-time-resolution, `beamformed' radio observations. Howe…

LOFAR MSSS: Detection of a low-frequency radio transient in 400 hrs of monitoring of the North Celestial Pole

A. J. Stewart, R. P. Fender, J. W. Broderick +99

We present the results of a four-month campaign searching for low-frequency radio transients near the North Celestial Pole with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), as part of the Mult…
