Targeted searches for prompt radio transients using the Murchison Widefield Array

| Summary: | My thesis presents a targeted search for prompt radio transients from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). I used the MWA rapid-response mode to follow up a large sample of GRBs, and derived some of the best constraints on relevant coherent emission models. I also performed an extensive search for low frequency FRB emission, and derived significant constraints on FRB emission models. |
