Probing the maximum energy of fast radio bursts using thousands of sources from the Second CHIME/FRB Catalog
Vishwangi Shah, Jason W. T. Hessels, Victoria M. Kaspi +25
Quantifying the maximum energy of fast radio bursts (FRBs) can provide stringent constraints on their emission mechanisms and progenitor models. However, the most energetic bursts…
The Second CHIME/FRB Catalog of Fast Radio Bursts
FRB Collaboration, Thomas Abbott, Bridget C. Andersen +71
We present a catalog of 4539 fast radio bursts (FRBs) observed with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope between 25 July 2018 and 15 September 2023.…
A Spatial Gap in the Sky Distribution of Fast Radio Burst Detections Coinciding with Galactic Plasma Overdensities
Swarali Shivraj Patil, Robert A. Main, Emmanuel Fonseca +26
We analyze the positional and morphological properties of about 3600 unique fast radio burst (FRB) sources reported in the second FRB catalog generated by the Canadian Hydrogen Int…
Searching for Historical Extragalactic Optical Transients Associated with Fast Radio Bursts
Y. Dong, C. D. Kilpatrick, W. Fong +24
We present a systematic search for past supernovae (SNe) and other historical optical transients at the positions of fast radio burst (FRB) sources to test FRB progenitor systems.…
FRB 20250316A: A Brilliant and Nearby One-Off Fast Radio Burst Localized to 13 parsec Precision
FRB Collaboration, Thomas C. Abbott, Daniel Amouyal +83
Precise localizations of a small number of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) have enabled multiwavelength follow-up observations rev…
The CHIME/FRB Discovery of the Extremely Active Fast Radio Burst Source FRB 20240114A
Kaitlyn Shin, Alice Curtin, Maxwell Fine +28
Among the thousands of observed fast radio bursts (FRBs), a few sources exhibit exceptionally high burst activity observable by many telescopes across a broad range of radio freque…
