RADIOTRANSIENTS Detecting and characterizing radio transients
Coordinator: UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN (ZA)
Recent technological advances place radio astronomy on the brink of a revolution, with survey capabilities about to improve dramatically. The newly completed northern hemisphere Low-Frequency ARray (LOFAR), and the future Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) in the south, are two of the three new-generation radio telescopes driving this progress. It will now be possible, for the first time, to perform radio surveys sufficiently sensitive and wide to efficiently detect rapid, rare transients. Extreme astrophysical events, such as neutron star mergers and relativistic jet ejection from accreting bla…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium.
