摘要：LOFAR, the Low Frequency Array, is a new radio telescope under construction in the Netherlands,
designed to operate between 30 and 240 MHz. The Transients Key Project is one of the four Key
Science Projects which comprise the core LOFAR science case. The remit of the Transients Key
Project is to study variable and transient radio sources detected by LOFAR, on timescales from
milliseconds to years. This will be achieved via both regular snapshot monitoring of historical and
newly-discovered radio variables and, most radically, the development of a `Radio Sky Monitor'
which will survey a large fraction of the northern sky on a daily basis.
