0504677--Ellingson/Va TechThe award will cover the construction and initial operation of a low-frequency radio array operating in the band 29 - 47 MHz at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute that will be used to monitor virtually the entire sky at all times in a search for low-frequency radio transient phenomena. Such transients, which have yet to be observed, could arise from a variety of high-energy astrophysical phenomena including primordial black holes, gamma ray bursts, supernovae, and compact object mergers. Included in the project are advanced software development efforts to mine the large quantity of anticipated data for transient signatures as well as the development of techniques to deal with anticipated radio frequency interference in this band.

0504677--Ellingson/Va Tech该奖项将包括在Pisgah天文研究所建造和初步运行在29-47兆赫频段运行的低频无线电阵列，该阵列将被用来在任何时候监测几乎整个天空，以寻找低频无线电瞬变现象。这种尚未观测到的瞬变可能是由各种高能天体物理现象引起的，包括原始黑洞、伽马射线爆发、超新星和致密天体合并。该项目包括高级软件开发工作，以挖掘用于瞬变特征的大量预期数据，以及开发处理该频段预期无线电频率干扰的技术。
