We present results from a radio survey for variable and transient sources on 15-min timescales, using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) pilot surveys. The pilot surveys consist of 505 h of observations conducted at around 1 GHz…

We are performing a transient, microsecond timescale radio sky survey, called "Astropulse," using the Arecibo telescope. Astropulse searches for brief (0.4 {\mu}s to 204.8 {\mu}s), wideband (relative to its 2.5 MHz bandwidth) radio pulses…

Transient surveys are a vital tool in exploring the dynamic universe, with radio transients acting as beacons for explosive and highly energetic astrophysical phenomena. However, performing commensal transient surveys using radio imaging…

We present the results of the first transient survey from the Owens Valley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array (OVRO-LWA) using 31 hr of data, in which we place the most constraining limits on the instantaneous transient surface density…

Systematic exploration of the observable parameter space, covered by large digital sky surveys spanning a range of wavelengths, will be one of the primary modes of research with a Virtual Observatory (VO). This will include searches for…

Synoptic sky surveys are becoming the largest data generators in astronomy, and they are opening a new research frontier, that touches essentially every field of astronomy. Opening of the time domain to a systematic exploration will…
