FRB 121102 Bursts Show Complex Time-Frequency Structure

J. W. T. Hessels, L. G. Spitler, A. D. Seymour +23

FRB 121102 is the only known repeating fast radio burst source. Here we analyze a wide-frequency-range (1-8 GHz) sample of high-signal-to-noise, coherently dedispersed bursts detec…

Refining the origins of the gamma-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6-5856

B. Marcote, M. Ribó, J. M. Paredes +2

Gamma-ray binaries are systems composed of a massive star and a compact object that exhibit emission from radio to very high energy gamma rays. They are ideal laboratories to study…

Constraining very-high-energy and optical emission from FRB 121102 with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +155

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright flashes observed typically at GHz frequencies with millisecond duration, whose origin is likely extragalactic. Their nature remains mysterious,…

Compact radio emission indicates a structured jet was produced by a binary neutron star merger

G. Ghirlanda, O. S. Salafia, Z. Paragi +33

The binary neutron star merger event GW170817 was detected through both electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves. Its afterglow emission may have been produced by either a…

An extreme magneto-ionic environment associated with the fast radio burst source FRB 121102

D. Michilli, A. Seymour, J. W. T. Hessels +31

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration, extragalactic radio flashes of unknown physical origin. FRB 121102, the only known repeating FRB source, has been localized to a…
