Monitoring and rapid follow-up of galactic transients and variables with AMI Rob Fender (Southampton) Guy Pooley (Cambridge) + many others Variable and transient source astrophysics with an S-Z telescope.. ... For a 12hr APERTIF observation ~10Jy we expect 1--10 transients per square degree 10--100 transients per day AMI very well placed to follow the most interesting of these up Proposal: AMI to have an official programme ­ including ToO ­ for the follow-up and monitoring of interesting transients. ...
