A fast radio burst from a non-targeted low-frequency survey

Cristian Di Pietrantonio, Marcin Sokolowski, Clancy W. James +13

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright, millisecond-duration transient radio signals of extragalactic origin with unknown source and emission mechanisms. While several thousand FRBs h…

MWA rapid follow-up of gravitational wave transients: prospects for detecting prompt radio counterparts

J. Tian, G. E. Anderson, A. J. Cooper +17

We present and evaluate the prospects for detecting coherent radio counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) events using Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) triggered observations. The…
