The Dynamic Universe
The Universe is a changing and violent place. What is the high-energy physics that drives this change? In CAASTRO, we are carrying out the first all-sky census of the variable and transient sky coordinated between both radio and optical wavelengths. These experiments are allowing us to study the changing sky over a wider field of view, at higher sensitivity and over a wider range of time scales than has ever previously been possible. Our studies of the Dynamic Universe aim to provide crucial new probes of extreme conditions in the cosmos and, more broadly, are allowing us to develop innovative approaches to finding weak signals in large data sets.
