The May ATUC Science meeting has been postponed till October.
Note the general ATUC May meeting has been delayed till further notice

New, sensitive widefield radio telescopes are opening up new parameter space for discovery and monitoring of variable and transient phenomena in the radio sky. Studies in the time domain are therefore an area of expanding interest in the astronomical community, including the ATNF user community. It is timely at this point to examine current progress using existing telescopes in astrophysical studies of variability.

This one-day workshop will include presentations and discussion sessions encompassing a broad range of topics such as:

• Searches for fast transient events
• Pulsars
• Supernovae and gamma-ray bursts
• Stellar variability
• Lunar Cherenkov pulses due to high energy neutrinos
• Galactic and extragalactic jet phenomena
• Scintillation and extreme scattering events

We will explore the challenges of making measurements on the various timescales involved, as well as commonalities in approaches to data handling and analysis for different types of phenomena.

Registration

As the meeting has been postponed, please do NOT register at this stage.

Invited Talks

The following have agreed to give invited talks, on the following topics:

• Sarah Burke-Spoloar - High Time Resolution Universe Survey results
• Kitty Low - Magnetic chemically peculiar star CU Virginis
• Justin Bray - UHE neutrino astrophysics
• Mark Walker - Scintillation and extreme scattering events
• Steve Ord - High time resolution radio astronomy

Contributed Talks

Because the meeting has been postponed, please do not submit talk requests at this stage. Presentations should be no longer than 15 minutes with 5 minutes for questions. All speakers should email their contributions to at_meetings@atnf.csiro.au (subject: ATUC-Science-Day Oct 2011) before the meeting starts. This will allow people from remote locations to access your talk.
