A bright millisecond-duration radio burst from a Galactic magnetar
FRB Collaboration, B. C. Andersen, K. M. Bandura +68
Magnetars are highly magnetized young neutron stars that occasionally produce enormous bursts and flares of X-rays and gamma-rays. Of the approximately thirty magnetars currently k…
CHIME/FRB Detection of the Original Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source FRB 121102
A. Josephy, P. Chawla, E. Fonseca +41
We report the detection of a single burst from the first-discovered repeating Fast Radio Burst source, FRB 121102, with CHIME/FRB, which operates in the frequency band 400-800 MHz.…
LOFAR Detection of 110-188 MHz Emission and Frequency-Dependent Activity from FRB 20180916B
Z. Pleunis, D. Michilli, C. G. Bassa +32
FRB 20180916B is a well-studied repeating fast radio burst source. Its proximity (~150 Mpc), along with detailed studies of the bursts, have revealed many clues about its nature --…
Detection of Repeating FRB 180916.J0158+65 Down to Frequencies of 300 MHz
P. Chawla, B. C. Andersen, M. Bhardwaj +37
We report on the detection of seven bursts from the periodically active, repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source FRB 180916.J0158+65 in the 300-400-MHz frequency range with the Gre…
The CHIME Fast Radio Burst Project: System Overview
FRB Collaboration, M. Amiri, K. Bandura +49
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a novel transit radio telescope operating across the 400-800-MHz band. CHIME is comprised of four 20-m x 100-m semi-cy…
A Search for Fast Radio Bursts with the GBNCC Pulsar Survey
P. Chawla, V. M. Kaspi, A. Josephy +17
We report on a search for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) with the Green Bank Northern Celestial Cap (GBNCC) Pulsar Survey at 350 MHz. Pointings amounting to a total on-sky time of 61 day…
Modeling Fast Radio Burst Dispersion and Scattering Properties in the First CHIME/FRB Catalog
P. Chawla, V. M. Kaspi, S. M. Ransom +28
We present a Monte Carlo-based population synthesis study of fast radio burst (FRB) dispersion and scattering focusing on the first catalog of sources detected with the Canadian Hy…
Simultaneous X-ray and Radio Observations of the Repeating Fast Radio Burst FRB 180916.J0158+65
P. Scholz, A. Cook, M. Cruces +35
We report on simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the repeating fast radio burst source FRB 180916.J0158+65 using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME)…
A repeating fast radio burst source localised to a nearby spiral galaxy
B. Marcote, K. Nimmo, J. W. T. Hessels +51
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief, bright, extragalactic radio flashes. Their physical origin remains unknown, but dozens of possible models have been postulated. Some FRB sources…
Periodic activity from a fast radio burst source
FRB Collaboration, M. Amiri, B. C. Andersen +70
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright, millisecond-duration radio transients originating from extragalactic distances. Their origin is unknown. Some FRB sources emit repeat bursts, r…
No Evidence for Galactic Latitude Dependence of the Fast Radio Burst Sky Distribution
A. Josephy, P. Chawla, A. P. Curtin +23
We investigate whether the sky rate of Fast Radio Bursts depends on Galactic latitude using the first catalog of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensit…
A Distant Fast Radio Burst Associated to its Host Galaxy with the Very Large Array
C. J. Law, B. J. Butler, J. X. Prochaska +17
We present the discovery and subarcsecond localization of a new Fast Radio Burst with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array and realfast search system. The FRB was discovered on 2019…
A Second Source of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts
FRB Collaboration, M. Amiri, K. Bandura +57
The discovery of a repeating Fast Radio Burst (FRB) source, FRB 121102, eliminated models involving cataclysmic events for this source. No other repeating FRB has yet been detected…
CHIME/FRB Detection of Eight New Repeating Fast Radio Burst Sources
FRB Collaboration, B. C. Andersen, K. Bandura +54
We report on the discovery of eight repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources found using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope. These sources span a…
Nine New Repeating Fast Radio Burst Sources from CHIME/FRB
