Revisiting FRB 20121102A: milliarcsecond localisation and a decreasing dispersion measure

M. P. Snelders, J. W. T. Hessels, J. Huang +27

FRB 20121102A is the original repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source and also the first to be localised to milliarcsecond precision using very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI).…

A milliarcsecond localization associates FRB 20190417A with a compact persistent radio source and an extreme magneto-ionic environment

Alexandra M. Moroianu, Shivani Bhandari, Maria R. Drout +38

We report the milliarcsecond localization of a high (1379 pc/cc) dispersion measure (DM) repeating fast radio burst, FRB 20190417A. Combining European VLBI Network detections of fi…

A Hyperactive FRB Pinpointed in an SMC-Like Satellite Host Galaxy

M. Bhardwaj, M. P. Snelders, J. W. T. Hessels +24

Precise localizations of fast radio bursts (FRBs) are essential for uncovering their host galaxies and immediate environments. We present the milliarcsecond-precision European VLBI…

A burst storm from the repeating FRB 20200120E in an M81 globular cluster

K. Nimmo, J. W. T. Hessels, M. P. Snelders +20

The repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source FRB 20200120E is exceptional because of its proximity and association with a globular cluster. Here we report bursts detected with…

Burst timescales and luminosities link young pulsars and fast radio bursts

K. Nimmo, J. W. T. Hessels, F. Kirsten +45

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extragalactic radio flashes of unknown physical origin. Their high luminosities and short durations require extreme energy densities, like those found…

A repeating fast radio burst source in a globular cluster

F. Kirsten, B. Marcote, K. Nimmo +63

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are exceptionally luminous flashes of unknown physical origin, reaching us from other galaxies (Petroff et al. 2019). Most FRBs have only ever been seen on…
