An invariant energy release hierarchy in a repeating fast radio burst

X. Yang, S. B. Zhang, Y. Li +9

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are luminous millisecond radio transients whose physical origin remains unsettled. A key diagnostic is whether their burst-energy distributions retain char…

Searching for radio pulsars in old open clusters from the Parkes archive

S. B. Zhang, J. J. Wei, X. Yang +7

Motivated by the discovery of a pulsar in the direction of the old open cluster NGC 6791, we conducted a search for radio pulsars in archival Parkes observations targeting similar…

Flat tails in FRB and pulsar energy distributions: implications for optimizing nearby FRB surveys

S. B. Zhang, G. Hobbs, S. Johnston +6

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are energetic, short-duration radio pulses of unclear origin. To explore effective survey strategies for detecting FRBs from nearby globular clusters (GCs)…

Detection of hidden emissions in two rotating radio transients with high surface magnetic fields

S. B. Zhang, X. Yang, J. J. Geng +2

Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) are neutron stars emitting sporadic radio pulses. The unique emission of RRATs has been proposed to resemble those of known pulsar types, such as…

Searching for short-timescale radio anomalies using nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques

X. Yang, G. Hobbs, S. -B. Zhang +6

We have searched for anomalous events using 2,520 hours of archival observations from Murriyang, CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope. These observations were originally undertaken to se…
