Hotwiring the Transient Universe

[Robert Seaman]

<VOEvent>¡Hola!</VOEvent>

In preparation for the upcoming ADASS tutorial, "Techniques for time domain astronomy", the "Hotwiring the Transient Universe" editors have finished up assembling the introductory book that several from the VOEvent WG have labored upon in lieu of the Hotwired II proceedings.  This is now available online:

We're having a crate of them sent to Boston and will be handing out the book gratis at the tutorial, but if your pounding heart won't let you wait, the single copy price is $5.77 (plus shipping).  We'll also arrange to send copies to each of the authors and the Hotwired II attendees, and will likely flood the market from the VAO booth at the Seattle AAS, etc.

Many thanks to all the authors.  Since time domain astronomy is a moving target, planning is already underway for a 2nd edition.  Your further contributions will be most welcome.  We will be updating the Hotwired conference series website, http://hotwireduniverse.org, with related content on an adaptive timescale.

Thanks to NOAO's Pete Marenfeld for yet another stellar cover illustration!  (The thumbnail online doesn't do it justice.)

Editor #3 is personally indebted to editors #1 and #2, Roy Williams and Sarah Emery Bunn, for their dedication to this project.  Many thanks to Tom Vestrand and LANL for funding both Hotwired II and this volume.
