[Lofarpwg] LOFAR2.0 PSR/FRB/Fast Transients EoIs

[Jason Hessels]

Hey all,

Here is a Google drive link to start coordinating the plans and materials:

There will be 2 EoIs: one focusing on searching and the other on monitoring of PSRs/FRBs/Fast Transients.

I have provided a document outlining the search and 3 sub-themes.  Comments welcome!  

Caterina will do the same for monitoring.

First order of business is to nail down the various sub-themes between the searching and monitoring EoIs, to ensure that we cover all the topics in a complementary but not overlapping way.  Same goes for coordinating with a more general (slower) transients EoI.

A reminder that the deadline is Dec 3rd, and that more background is available here: https://www.astron.nl/events/lofar2programmes/

Cheers,

Jason
