AGILE Observations of Fast Radio Bursts

F. Verrecchia, C. Casentini, M. Tavani +22

We report on a systematic search for hard X-ray and gamma-ray emission in coincidence with fast radio bursts (FRBs) observed by the AGILE satellite. We used 13 years of AGILE archi…

An X-Ray Burst from a Magnetar Enlightening the Mechanism of Fast Radio Bursts

M. Tavani, C. Casentini, A. Ursi +60

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short (millisecond) radio pulses originating from enigmatic sources at extragalactic distances so far lacking a detection in other energy bands. Magnet…
