Fast radio follow-up
The document discusses a meeting presentation on fast radio bursts (FRBs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by Tim Staley at the University of Southampton. It outlines updates on the Swift-Ami project, emphasizing advancements in data reduction and the system's effective responses. The presentation also highlights the need for improved collaboration in transient astronomy and introduces a new follow-up prioritization and scheduling system currently in development.
