Radio Follow-up of SGR J1935+2154

Abstract

We propose to observe SGR J1935+2154, that was recently detected at radio frequencies for the very first time. We request observations at 820 MHz, 1-2 GHz, 2-4 GHz and 4-8 GHz band, each of duration one hour to confirm that the SGR is still active at radio frequencies. We would like to request further follow-up observations if we detect radio pulses in the proposed observations.
