SUMMARY:Transient submm sources with Simons Observatory
DESCRIPTION:Transient submm sources with Simons Observatory\nDr. Mike Peel\
 n\nSimons Observatory (SO) is a new Cosmic Microwave Background  telescope
  currently under construction in the Atacama Desert, close to  ALMA and ot
 her recent CMB telescopes. It will have six small aperture  (42cm) telesco
 pes (SATs), and one large aperture (6m) telescope (LAT),  observing at 30-
 280GHz (1-10mm) using transition edge sensors (TES) and  kinetic inductanc
 e detectors (KIDs). As well as observing the  polarisation of the CMB to u
 nprecedented sensitivity, the LAT will  perform a constant survey at highe
 r angular resolution, enabling the  systematic detection of transient sour
 ces in the submm, with large  overlap of optical surveys such as LSST, DES
 I and DES. As well as giving  an overview of SO, I summarise the types of 
 transient sources that are  expected to be seen by SO, including flaring s
 tars, quasars, asteroids,  and man-made satellites.
