A multi-telescope fit to the FRB population, allowing for FRB repetition
Jordan L. Hoffmann, Clancy W. James, Jason X. Prochaska +3
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio pulses with extragalactic origins. A majority of FRBs have only had a single pulse detected from them; however, an increasin…
Discovery of 27 new Rotating Radio Transients by MeerTRAP
S. Singh, J. Tian, B. W. Stappers +15
We present the discovery of 27 new Galactic transients made by the commensal MeerTRAP single pulse search programme at the MeerKAT telescope. We determine the location of 14 of the…
A bright wideband radio burst from the isolated neutron star 2XMM J104608.7594306
J. Tian, K. M. Rajwade, I. Pastor-Marazuela +6
We present the discovery of a second coherent radio burst from the thermally emitting neutron star 2XMM J104608.7594306 in our follow-up observations with the Murriyang Ultra-Wi…
Discovery of 30 Galactic radio transient pulsars with MeerTRAP
J. Tian, S. Singh, B. W. Stappers +15
We present the discovery of 30 new Galactic sources from the MeerTRAP project, a commensal fast radio transient search programme using the MeerKAT telescope. These sources were all…
A fast radio burst from the first 3 billion years of the Universe
Manisha Caleb, Themiya Nanayakkara, Benjamin Stappers +25
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are enigmatic millisecond-duration signals which encode otherwise unattainable information on the plasma which permeates our Universe, providing insights i…
Localisation and host galaxy identification of new Fast Radio Bursts with MeerKAT
Inés Pastor-Marazuela, Alexa C. Gordon, Ben Stappers +18
Accurately localising fast radio bursts (FRBs) is essential for understanding their birth environments and for their use as cosmological probes. Recent advances in radio interferom…
MeerKAT discovery of a hyperactive repeating fast radio burst source
J. Tian, I. Pastor-Marazuela, K. M. Rajwade +17
We present the discovery and localisation of a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source from the MeerTRAP project, a commensal fast radio transient search programme using the MeerKA…
Slow and steady: long-term evolution of the 76-second pulsar J09014046
M. C. Bezuidenhout, N. D. R. Bhat, M. Caleb +10
PSR J09014046, a likely radio-loud neutron star with a period of 75.88 seconds, challenges conventional models of neutron star radio emission. Here, we showcase results from 46…
A coherent radio burst from an X-ray neutron star in the Carina Nebula
K. M. Rajwade, J. Tian, G. Younes +10
The neutron star zoo comprises several sub-populations that range from energetic magnetars and thermally emitting X-ray neutron stars to radio-emitting pulsars. Despite studies ove…
Multi-messenger Gravitational Lensing
Graham P. Smith, Tessa Baker, Simon Birrer +38
We introduce the rapidly emerging field of multi-messenger gravitational lensing - the discovery and science of gravitationally lensed phenomena in the distant universe through the…
The EXOD search for faint transients in XMM-Newton observations. Part II
Norman Khan, Erwan Quintin, Natalie A. Webb +7
The XMM-Newton observatory has accumulated a vast archive of over 17,000 X-ray observations over the last 25 years. However, the standard data processing pipelines may fail to dete…
Contemporaneous optical-radio observations of a fast radio burst in a close galaxy pair
K. Y. Hanmer, I. Pastor-Marazuela, J. Brink +20
We present the MeerKAT discovery and MeerLICHT contemporaneous optical observations of the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) 20230808F, which was found to have a dispersion measure of $\mathr…
Discovery of 26 new Galactic radio transients by MeerTRAP
James Dennis Turner, Ben W. Stappers, Jun Tian +10
Radio searches for single pulses provide the opportunity to discover one-off events, fast transients and some pulsars that might otherwise be missed by conventional periodicity sea…
Detection and localisation of the highly active FRB 20240114A with MeerKAT
J. Tian, K. M. Rajwade, I. Pastor-Marazuela +6
We report observations of the highly active FRB 20240114A with MeerKAT using the Ultra-High Frequency (UHF; MHz) and L-band ( MHz) receivers. A…
A study of two FRBs with low polarization fractions localized with the MeerTRAP transient buffer system
K. M. Rajwade, L. N. Driessen, E. D. Barr +19
Localisation of fast radio bursts (FRBs) to arcsecond and sub-arcsecond precision maximizes their potential as cosmological probes. To that end, FRB detection instruments are deplo…
Comprehensive analysis of the Apertif Fast Radio Burst sample: similarities with young, energetic neutron stars
Inés Pastor-Marazuela, Joeri van Leeuwen, Anna Bilous +9
Understanding the origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has become the main science driver of recent dedicated FRB surveys. Between July 2019 and February 2022, we carried out ALERT,…
New upper limits on low-frequency radio emission from isolated neutron stars with LOFAR
Inés Pastor-Marazuela, Samayra M. Straal, Joeri van Leeuwen +1
Neutron stars that show X-ray and -ray pulsed emission must, somewhere in the magnetosphere, generate electron-positron pairs. Such pairs are also required for radio emission, b…
First release of Apertif imaging survey data
Elizabeth A. K. Adams, B. Adebahr, W. J. G. de Blok +56
(Abridged) Apertif is a phased-array feed system for WSRT, providing forty instantaneous beams over 300 MHz of bandwidth. A dedicated survey program started on 1 July 2019, with th…
The Apertif Radio Transient System (ARTS): Design, Commissioning, Data Release, and Detection of the first 5 Fast Radio Bursts
Joeri van Leeuwen, Eric Kooistra, Leon Oostrum +49
