A targeted search for fast radio bursts from magnetars in elliptical galaxies

S. Paine, D. R. Lorimer, S. Sirota +12

Motivated by predictions that globular clusters associated with nearby giant elliptical galaxies are prime environments for detecting fast radio bursts (FRBs) from magnetars, we re…

Repeating versus Nonrepeating Fast Radio Bursts: A Deep Learning Approach to Morphological Characterization

Bikash Kharel, Emmanuel Fonseca, Charanjot Brar +6

We present a deep learning approach to classify fast radio bursts (FRBs) based purely on morphology as encoded on recorded dynamic spectrum from CHIME/FRB Catalog 2. We implemented…
