FRB 121102 Bursts Show Complex Time-Frequency Structure

J. W. T. Hessels, L. G. Spitler, A. D. Seymour +23

FRB 121102 is the only known repeating fast radio burst source. Here we analyze a wide-frequency-range (1-8 GHz) sample of high-signal-to-noise, coherently dedispersed bursts detec…

LOFAR discovery of a 23.5-second radio pulsar

C. M. Tan, C. G. Bassa, S. Cooper +16

We present the discovery of PSR J0250+5854, a radio pulsar with a spin period of 23.5 s. This is the slowest-spinning radio pulsar known. PSR J0250+5854 was discovered by the LOFAR…

Constraining very-high-energy and optical emission from FRB 121102 with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +155

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright flashes observed typically at GHz frequencies with millisecond duration, whose origin is likely extragalactic. Their nature remains mysterious,…

Single-pulse classifier for the LOFAR Tied-Array All-sky Survey

D. Michilli, J. W. T. Hessels, R. J. Lyon +7

Searches for millisecond-duration, dispersed single pulses have become a standard tool used during radio pulsar surveys in the last decade. They have enabled the discovery of two n…

Detection of Bursts from FRB 121102 with the Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope at 5 GHz and the Role of Scintillation

Laura G Spitler, W Herrmann, Geoffrey C Bower +8

FRB 121102, the only repeating fast radio burst (FRB) known to date, was discovered at 1.4 GHz and shortly after the discovery of its repeating nature, detected up to 2.4 GHz. Here…

Highest-frequency detection of FRB 121102 at 4-8 GHz using the Breakthrough Listen Digital Backend at the Green Bank Telescope

V. Gajjar, A. P. V. Siemion, D. C. Price +28

We report the first detections of the repeating fast radio burst source FRB 121102 above 5.2 GHz. Observations were performed using the 48 GHz receiver of the Robert C. Byrd Gre…
