- superkuh 2y agoIt would, but a pilot program of (much smaller/cheaper (no gpus for imaging)) STARE2 deployments around the world for fast transient radio burst detection would probably be a better start. https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/magnificent-burst-within-our-galaxy https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/magnificent-burst-within-... https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.05077 https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.05077 >"When I saw the data, I was basically paralyzed," says Christopher Bochenek (MS '18), lead author of a new Nature study on the STARE2 results, ... "At the radio frequencies we observe with STARE2, the signal was much stronger than what CHIME reported. We had caught the FRB head-on."
