| Research Abstract |
This research aimed to unveil the origins of astronomical transient phenomena in radio frequency band. In order to realize that, we developed observation system in our Nasu Radio Observatory and succeeded at discovering the profile of previously reported radio transients using the system. Moreover, we were able to narrow down the candidates for the radio transients. These results will promote radio observation of transient phenomena by the Square Kilometre Array and other facilities.
