SUMMARY:Challenges of time-domain astronomy 
DESCRIPTION:Challenges of time-domain astronomy \nProf. Michael Kramer\n\nT
 he number of photons received allows radio astronomers to resolve       th
 e        Universe on timescales of nanoseconds. This has been demonstrated
        over        decades by observations of giant pulses from the Crab P
 ulsar, why       more        recently, it has led to the establishment of 
 the  new research       field of        Fast Radio Bursts. The latter
  were initially discovered in       archival data but are now        estab
 lished as a population of radio sources at cosmological       distances.  
       While their origin still remains a mystery, they promise to become  
      powerful        cosmological tools. This talk will briefly review tim
 e domain       astronomy in        the radio regime, describe some of the 
 latest FRB results, and       will also address        the challenges. The
 se range from dealing with large amounts of raw       data        (PB to E
 B) that need to be processed in real-time with machine       learning meth
 ods,        to delivering reliable triggers for multi-wavelength follow-up
  at       optical and higher        frequencies.
