The Astrophysics of Fast Radio Bursts
Alice P. Curtin, Marcin GawroÅski, Jason Hessels +11
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide a glimpse of high-energy astrophysical phenomena in other galaxies. They point the way to extreme conditions that are currently undetectable by any…
Measuring High-Energy Cosmic Particles with the SKA
Tim Huege, Katharine Mulrey, Sjoerd Bouma +28
The origin of high-energy cosmic rays remain one of astrophysics' greatest unsolved mysteries. SKA-Low will be able to measure air showers initiated by cosmic rays with unprecedent…
Using SKA-Low to Detect PeV Gamma-rays from Galactic Sources
Anna Nelles, Philipp Laub, Haoning He +28
Detecting so called PeVatrons is considered one of the prime goals of -ray astronomy. PeVatrons are astrophysical objects in the Galaxy that are sources of cosmic rays exceedin…
The discovery of a 41s radio pulsar PSR J0311+1402 with ASKAP
Yuanming Wang, Pavan Uttarkar, Ryan Shannon +16
The emerging population of long-period radio transients (LPTs) show both similarities and differences with normal pulsars. A key difference is that their radio emission is too brig…
Efficient Summation of Arbitrary Masks -- ESAM
Vivek Gupta, Keith Bannister, Chris Flynn +1
Searches for impulsive, astrophysical transients are often highly computationally demanding. A notable example is the dedispersion process required for performing blind searches fo…
gSeaGen: the KM3NeT GENIE-based code for neutrino telescopes
Sebastiano Aiello, Arnauld Albert, Sergio Alves Garre +233
The gSeaGen code is a GENIE-based application developed to efficiently generate high statistics samples of events, induced by neutrino interactions, detectable in a neutrino telesc…
Anomalous Air Showers and What They Reveal About Hadronic Interactions and Cosmic-ray Masses
Stijn Buitink, Vital De Henau, Sjoerd Bouma +28
The identification of the sources and acceleration mechanisms of cosmic rays require precise measurements of their mass composition. Currently, the most reliable method is to measu…
Detecting HI Absorption in FRB Spectra: Modern Prospects and Scientific Utility
Hugh Roxburgh, Marcin Glowacki, Apurba Bera +1
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) emit broadband radio emission that may, in rare cases, encode atomic hydrogen (HI) absorption signals as they traverse the interstellar medium of their hos…
I can see your halo: Constraining the Milky Way halo DM with FRB population studies
Jordan Hoffmann, Clancy James, Jason Xavier Prochaska +1
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) probe the electron column density along the line of sight and hence can be used to probe foreground structures. One such structure is the Galactic halo. In…
Interferometric Analysis of Air-shower Radio Emission in the Near Field with an Information Field Theory Approach
Keito Watanabe, Karen Terveer, Sjoerd Bouma +29
Current reconstruction techniques for air-shower radio emission generated by cosmic rays have shown great success, having been applied to several radio detectors over the last deca…
Bias-corrected Fast Radio Bursts Population and Spectra Using CHIME Injection Data
Xianghan Cui, Clancy James, Di Li +1
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), a class of millisecond-scale, highly energetic phenomena with unknown progenitors and radiation mechanisms, require proper statistical analysis as a key m…
Event reconstruction for KM3NeT/ORCA using convolutional neural networks
Sebastiano Aiello, Arnauld Albert, Sergio Alves Garre +229
The KM3NeT research infrastructure is currently under construction at two locations in the Mediterranean Sea. The KM3NeT/ORCA water-Cherenkov neutrino detector off the French coast…
