The Dynamic Radio Sky: An Opportunity for Discovery

Understand

The time domain of the sky has been only sparsely explored.

• Nevertheless, recent discoveries from limited surveys and serendipitous discoveries indicate that there is much to be found on timescales from nanoseconds to years and at wavelengths from meters to millimeters.
• These observations have revealed unexpected phenomena such as rotating radio transients and coherent pulses from brown dwarfs.
• Additionally, archival studies have found not-yet identified radio transients without optical or high-energy hosts.
