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 bursts

E Petroff, JWT Hessels, DR Lorimer - The Astronomy and Astrophysics …, 2019 - Springer
The discovery of radio pulsars over a half century ago was a seminal moment in astronomy.
It demonstrated the existence of neutron stars, gave a powerful observational tool to study …

Fast radio bursts as synchrotron maser emission from decelerating relativistic blast waves

BD Metzger, B Margalit, L Sironi - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can arise from synchrotron maser emission at ultrarelativistic
magnetized shocks, such as produced by flare ejecta from young magnetars. We combine …

A new electron-density model for estimation of pulsar and FRB distances

JM Yao, RN Manchester, N Wang - The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a new model for the distribution of free electrons in the Galaxy, the Magellanic
Clouds, and the intergalactic medium (IGM) that can be used to estimate distances to real or …

Possible periodic activity in the repeating FRB 121102

KM Rajwade, MB Mickaliger… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The discovery that at least some Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) repeat has ruled out cataclysmic
events as the progenitors of these particular bursts. FRB 121102 is the most well-studied …

LG Spitler, P Scholz, JWT Hessels, S Bogdanov… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Fast radio bursts are millisecond-duration astronomical radio pulses of unknown physical
origin that appear to come from extragalactic distances,,,,,,,. Previous follow-up observations …

The host galaxy and redshift of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102

SP Tendulkar, CG Bassa, JM Cordes… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The precise localization of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB 121102) has provided the first
unambiguous association (chance coincidence probability p≲ 3× 10− 4) of an FRB with an …

FRB 121102 bursts show complex time–frequency structure

JWT Hessels, LG Spitler, AD Seymour… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

The dispersion–brightness relation for fast radio bursts from a wide-field survey

RM Shannon, JP Macquart, KW Bannister, RD Ekers… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Despite considerable efforts over the past decade, only 34 fast radio bursts—intense bursts
of radio emission from beyond our Galaxy—have been reported,. Attempts to understand the …

FRBCAT: the fast radio burst catalogue

E Petroff, ED Barr, A Jameson, EF Keane… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2016 - arxiv.org
Here we present a catalogue of known Fast Radio Burst (FRB) sources in the form of an
online catalogue, FRBCAT. The catalogue includes information about the instrumentation …
