Exploring The Transient Sky At Millimeter Wavelengths With SPT-3G
Event Start:
2021-04-12T15:00:00
Event End:
2021-04-12T16:00:00
Event Information:
Large-area transient surveys are a powerful source of information on a wide class of high-energy astrophysical objects, including gamma-ray burst afterglows, the jet launch area of active galactic nuclei, tidal-disruption events, and stellar flares. Current transient surveys operate at nearly every wavelength from gamma rays through radio, but the millimeter wavelength range is comparatively unexplored. However, current generation cosmic microwave observatories have the necessary cadence and daily sensitivity to fill this millimeter-wave gap.
