The FRB 20121102A November rain in 2018 observed with the Arecibo Telescope

J. N. Jahns, L. G. Spitler, K. Nimmo +7

We present 849 new bursts from FRB 20121102A detected with the 305-m Arecibo Telescope. Observations were conducted as part of our regular campaign to monitor activity and evolutio…

Arecibo observations of a burst storm from FRB 20121102A in 2016

D. M. Hewitt, M. P. Snelders, J. W. T. Hessels +9

FRB 20121102A is the first known fast radio burst (FRB) from which repeat bursts were detected, and one of the best-studied FRB sources in the literature. Here we report on the ana…

Rotation Measure Evolution of the Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source FRB 121102

G. H. Hilmarsson, D. Michilli, L. G. Spitler +10

The repeating fast radio burst source FRB 121102 has been shown to have an exceptionally high and variable Faraday rotation measure (RM), which must be imparted within its host gal…

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…

A sample of low energy bursts from FRB 121102

K. Gourdji, D. Michilli, L. G. Spitler +4

We present 41 bursts from the first repeating fast radio burst discovered (FRB 121102). A deep search has allowed us to probe unprecedentedly low burst energies during two consecut…

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…

An extreme magneto-ionic environment associated with the fast radio burst source FRB 121102

D. Michilli, A. Seymour, J. W. T. Hessels +31

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration, extragalactic radio flashes of unknown physical origin. FRB 121102, the only known repeating FRB source, has been localized to a…

A Multi-telescope Campaign on FRB 121102: Implications for the FRB Population

C. J. Law, M. W. Abruzzo, C. G. Bassa +33

We present results of the coordinated observing campaign that made the first subarcsecond localization of a Fast Radio Burst, FRB 121102. During this campaign, we made the first si…

Simultaneous X-ray, gamma-ray, and Radio Observations of the repeating Fast Radio Burst FRB 121102

P. Scholz, S. Bogdanov, J. W. T. Hessels +19

We undertook coordinated campaigns with the Green Bank, Effelsberg, and Arecibo radio telescopes during Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton observations of the repeating fast…
