Parkes observations for project P1066 semester 2024OCTS_01

Created 21/01/2025

Updated 07/03/2025

We propose 24 hrs of Parkes observations to continue the Deeper, Wider, Faster (DWF) program to detect fast transients and fast radio burst (FRB) counterparts and help resolve their nature. DWF coordinates major observatories worldwide at all wavelengths, from radio to gamma-ray and particle detectors to detect and follow-up FRBs and other elusive fast (millisecond-to-hours duration) transients. Crucially, we coordinate simultaneous deep, fast-cadenced, wide-field observations at all wavelengths to observe the same field at the same time as Parkes, enabling multi-wavelength detection before, during, and after the radio detection and provide the only program to search for multiwavelength counterparts to single-burst FRBs. Little to no multi-wavelength observations to any significant depth have been done on these timescales, leaving this parameter space little explored.
