STARE2: Detecting Fast Radio Bursts in the Milky Way
Christopher D. Bochenek,Daniel L. McKenna,Konstantin Belov,Jonathon Kocz,Shri Kulkarni,James W. Lamb,Vikram Ravi,David Woody +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a two-station system was used to detect and localized a solar burst, demonstrating that the pilot system is capable of detecting short duration radio transients with duration between 65 μs and 34 ms.

Constraining the X-Ray–Infrared Spectral Index of Second-timescale Flares from SGR 1935+2154 with Palomar Gattini-IR
Kaushik De,Michael C. B. Ashley,Igor Andreoni,Mansi M. Kasliwal,Roberto Soria,Roberto Soria,Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan,C. Cai,Alexander Delacroix,Tim Greffe,David Hale,M. Hankins,Cheng-Kui Li,Daniel L. McKenna,Anna M. Moore,Eran O. Ofek,Roger Smith,J. Soon,Tony Travouillon,Shuang-Nan Zhang +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented results from the first search for second-timescale emission from the source at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths using the Palomar Gattini-IR observing system in the J band, enabled by a novel detector readout mode.
