Abstract

Continuous, wide sky coverage is essential for the detection and monitoring of infrequent, short-lived events of astrophysical interest such as supernova and nova explosions, variable X-ray sources, gamma ray bursts, gravity waves and stellar and solar flares. We propose to (1) examine past radio propagation records and (2) develop new computer based radio receivers to monitor and log ionospheric perturbations associated with these events.
