Radio continuum emission has been demonstrated to be an excellent tracer of recent star formation, yet current understanding remains empirical, and is primarily based upon integrated multi-frequency or resolved mono-chromatic radio continuum studies. In this thesis, we gain furt…
The high time-resolution radio sky represents unexplored astronomical territory where the discovery potential is high. In this thesis I have studied the transient radio sky, focusing on millisecond scales. As such, this work is concerned primarily with neutron stars, the most po…
"Radio and radar astronomy are powerful tools when studying the wonders of the universe, yet they tend to mystify amateur astronomers. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to newcomers, containing everything you need to start observing at radio wavelengths. Written by…
