From exoplanets to long-period transients: Coherent radio emission from binary systems

Abstract: 
Many binary systems produce coherent radio bursts, from the Jupiter-Io system to star-planet interactions to systems as exotic as long-period transients. While these bursts can look very different in terms of timescales and luminosity, they all have something in common: an interaction with a companion. In this talk, I will discuss the radio emission from stars, brown dwarfs, and long-period transients. I will cover observing strategies for these different types of transients as well as physical explanations for their emission, showing that the fields of slow and fast transients overlap in more than just the name.
