Tracing the Host-Galaxy Environments of FRBs with a New Sample of Localized Sources Detected with the DSA-110
Frank M. Verdi, Vikram Ravi, Myles B. Sherman +7
We characterize the source environments of a sample of fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected with the Deep Synoptic Array (DSA-110). We present new analyses of a sample of 24 FRBs whic…
The DSA/Chronoscope fast radio burst survey: forecasts and science overview
Liam Connor, Kaitlyn Shin, Vikram Ravi +14
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright extragalactic transients with several mysteries surrounding their origins. Large FRB samples enable accurate measurements of the cosmic matter d…
Deep Synoptic Array Science: Searching for Long Duration Radio Transients with the DSA-110
Myles B. Sherman, Nikita Kosogorov, Casey Law +10
We describe the design and commissioning tests for the DSA-110 Not-So-Fast Radio Burst (NSFRB) search pipeline, a 1.4GHz image-plane single-pulse search sensitive to 134ms-160.8s r…
Optical/infrared observations of the extraordinary GRB 250702B: a highly obscured afterglow in a massive galaxy consistent with multiple possible progenitors
Jonathan Carney, Igor Andreoni, Brendan O'Connor +31
GRB 250702B was the longest gamma-ray burst ever detected, with a duration that challenges standard collapsar models and suggests an exotic progenitor. We collected a rich set of o…
Fast Luminous Extragalactic Transients in the VLA Sky Survey: Implications for the rates of Accretion-Induced Collapse Events, Fast Blue Optical Transients and Gamma Ray Burst Afterglows
Kritti Sharma, Vikram Ravi, Dillon Z. Dong +7
Radio wavelengths offer a unique window into high-energy astrophysical phenomena that may be obscured or too rapidly evolving to be captured at other wavelengths. Leveraging data f…
A luminous and hot infrared through X-ray transient at a 5 kpc offset from a dwarf galaxy
Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Raffaella Margutti +20
We are searching for hot, constant-color, offset optical flares in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data stream that are from any galaxy in public imaging data from th…
Evidence for a hot galactic halo around the Andromeda Galaxy using fast radio bursts along two sightlines
Reshma Anna-Thomas, Casey J. Law, Eric W. Koch +17
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio transients that serve as unique probes of ionized extragalactic matter. We report the discovery and localization of two FRBs…
Preferential Occurrence of Fast Radio Bursts in Massive Star-Forming Galaxies
Kritti Sharma, Vikram Ravi, Liam Connor +24
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration events detected from beyond the Milky Way. FRB emission characteristics favor highly magnetized neutron stars, or magnetars, as th…
A Heavily Scattered Fast Radio Burst Is Viewed Through Multiple Galaxy Halos
Jakob T. Faber, Vikram Ravi, Stella Koch Ocker +16
We present a multi-wavelength study of the apparently non-repeating, heavily scattered fast radio burst, FRB 20221219A, detected by the Deep Synoptic Array 110 (DSA-110). The burst…
Searching for Magnetar Binaries Disrupted by Core-Collapse Supernovae
Myles B. Sherman, Vikram Ravi, Kareem El-Badry +5
Core-collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) are considered the primary magnetar formation channel, with 15 magnetars associated with supernova remnants (SNRs). A large fraction of these shoul…
Characterizing the Ordinary Broad-lined Type Ic SN 2023pel from the Energetic GRB 230812B
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Vishwajeet Swain, Brendan M. O'Connor +39
We report observations of the optical counterpart of the long gamma-ray burst (LGRB) GRB 230812B, and its associated supernova (SN) SN 2023pel. The proximity () and high…
Deep Synoptic Array Science: Implications of Faraday Rotation Measures of Localized Fast Radio Bursts
Myles B. Sherman, Liam Connor, Vikram Ravi +20
Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of fast radio bursts (FRBs) offer the prospect of directly measuring extragalactic magnetic fields. We present an analysis of the RMs of ten as yet…
Deep Synoptic Array Science: Polarimetry of 25 New Fast Radio Bursts Provides Insights into their Origins
Myles B. Sherman, Liam Connor, Vikram Ravi +20
We report on a full-polarization analysis of the first 25 as yet non-repeating FRBs detected at 1.4 GHz by the 110-antenna Deep Synoptic Array (DSA-110) during commissioning observ…
