About
P. Armstrong is an observational astronomer whose work centers on time-domain astrophysics, particularly the discovery and characterization of supernovae and other transient phenomena in the southern sky. As a key contributor to the SkyMapper Transient Survey (SMT), Armstrong helped pioneer a rolling search strategy using the robotic SkyMapper Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, enabling systematic detection of supernovae and rapid follow-up of targets of opportunity. Their foundational paper, “First Results of the SkyMapper Transient Survey” (2017), has garnered 2 citations, establishing a baseline for future transient surveys in the Southern Hemisphere. Armstrong’s contributions are vital to understanding stellar explosions and variable sources, providing critical data for the broader time-domain astronomy community. Their work supports the growing field of transient discovery, bridging robotic telescope operations with real-time astrophysical insights.
