SUMMARY:Searching for Pulsars and Radio Transients with the Murchison Widefield Array\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, David Kaplan\, UW Milwaukee\, Department of Physics
DESCRIPTION:As one of a new generation of widefield\, low-frequency radio<br>
telescopes\, the Murchison Widefield Array has enormous potential to<br>
conduct blind searches for radio transients and probe the nearby<br>
pulsar population.  We are working to develop a common framework<br>
with the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP)<br>
Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) survey to allow real-time<br>
transient detection and characterization.  I will discuss the expected<br>
types of sources that we hope to discover with the full array and<br>
review some of the initial results from our 32-element testbed.
