The discovery and scientific potential of fast radio bursts

M Bailes - Science, 2022 - science.org
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-time-scale bursts of coherent radio emission that
are luminous enough to be detectable at cosmological distances. In this Review, I describe …

A repeating fast radio burst source in a globular cluster

F Kirsten, B Marcote, K Nimmo, JWT Hessels… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are flashes of unknown physical origin. The majority of FRBs have
been seen only once, although some are known to generate multiple flashes,. Many models …

CHIME/FRB discovery of 25 repeating fast radio burst sources

BC Andersen, K Bandura, M Bhardwaj… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the discovery of 25 new repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources found among

Magnetic field reversal in the turbulent environment around a repeating fast radio burst

R Anna-Thomas, L Connor, S Dai, Y Feng… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief, intense flashes of radio waves from unidentified
extragalactic sources. Polarized FRBs originate in highly magnetized environments. We …

Host galaxies for four nearby CHIME/FRB sources and the local universe FRB host galaxy population

Detection of ultra-fast radio bursts from FRB 20121102A

MP Snelders, K Nimmo, JWT Hessels, Z Bensellam… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extragalactic transient flashes of radio waves with typical
durations of milliseconds. FRBs have been shown, however, to present a wide range of …

Deep Synoptic Array Science: Discovery of the Host Galaxy of FRB 20220912A
