MEERTRAP

MeerTRAP will work with the MeerLICHT telescope to obtain optical data before, during, and after fast radio transient bursts. MeerTRAP is funded through a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant. The system will be deigned in close collaboration with colleagues from MPIfR and the University of Oxford and builds on the beam-former developed by the MPIfR... MeerTRAP is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 694745). The MeerKAT telescope is operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, which is a facility of the National Research Foundation, an agency of the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI). ThunderKAT is co-led by the Universities of Cape Town and Oxford. MeerTRAP collaborates closely with the Max-Planck Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) and makes use of the beamforming and processing infrastructure funded and installed at MeerKAT by the MPIfR and the..
