A living theory catalogue for fast radio bursts
E Platts, A Weltman, A Walters, SP Tendulkar… - Physics Reports, 2019 - Elsevier
At present, we have almost as many theories to explain Fast Radio Bursts as we have Fast
Radio Bursts observed. This landscape will be changing rapidly with CHIME/FRB, recently …

Fast radio burst morphology in the first CHIME/FRB catalog
We present a synthesis of fast radio burst (FRB) morphology (the change in flux as a function
of time and frequency) as detected in the 400–800 MHz octave by the FRB project on the …
