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…

Detection of Bursts from FRB 121102 with the Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope at 5 GHz and the Role of Scintillation

Laura G Spitler, W Herrmann, Geoffrey C Bower +8

FRB 121102, the only repeating fast radio burst (FRB) known to date, was discovered at 1.4 GHz and shortly after the discovery of its repeating nature, detected up to 2.4 GHz. Here…

The implementation of a Fast-Folding pipeline for long-period pulsar searching in the PALFA survey

E. Parent, V. M. Kaspi, S. M. Ransom +31

The Pulsar Arecibo L-Band Feed Array (PALFA) survey, the most sensitive blind search for radio pulsars yet conducted, is ongoing at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The vast…

Highest-frequency detection of FRB 121102 at 4-8 GHz using the Breakthrough Listen Digital Backend at the Green Bank Telescope

V. Gajjar, A. P. V. Siemion, D. C. Price +28

We report the first detections of the repeating fast radio burst source FRB 121102 above 5.2 GHz. Observations were performed using the 48 GHz receiver of the Robert C. Byrd Gre…

PALFA Discovery of a Highly Relativistic Double Neutron Star Binary

K. Stovall, P. C. C. Freire, S. Chatterjee +32

We report the discovery and initial follow-up of a double neutron star (DNS) system, PSR J19462052, with the Arecibo L-Band Feed Array pulsar (PALFA) survey. PSR J19462052 is…

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…
