A powerful bursting radio source towards the Galactic Centre

Article Abstract:

A transient radio source, GCRT J1745-3009, which was detected during a moderately wide-field monitoring program of the Galactic Centre region at 033 GHz, is reported. It is concluded that it represents a hitherto unknown class of transient radio sources, the first of possibly many new classes that may be discovered by emerging wide-field radio telescopes.
