Building A Dedicated Radio Supernova Search Engine

Massive stars at the end of their lives explode as supernovae. The supernova rate in Milky Way is expected to be one in thirty years. Owing to interstellar opacity, they are likely to be visible in optical only if they happen within a few kilo parsec distance. In radio, they can be detected up to the end of the galaxy even with a modest sized telescope. To enable this we are building a dedicated radio Supernova Search Engine (SnSE).
