Description
Recent radio surveys have demonstrated that the radio sky is far more dynamic and variable than previously thought, with a host of new transient discoveries rapidly following wide-area surveys conducted with SKA precursors such as LOFAR, ASKAP, and the MWA. In particular, the long-period radio transients (LPTs) have motivated searches of the time domain between seconds to hours, a timescale historically understudied.
In this talk I will report on the status of transient searches and follow-up with the MWA, highlighting some key recent papers, and describing ongoing work in this domain. This will include science outcomes in studies of pulsars and long-period radio transients, and spin-off benefits to studies of unintended satellite emission, the ionosphere, and the formation of deep mosaics through lucky imaging approaches.
