Funded Activity Summary

Transforming fast radio bursts into an astrophysical tool. This project aims to determine what causes fast radio bursts by utilising the revolutionary capabilities of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder. Fast radio bursts remain one of the most poorly understood astronomical objects; only the localisation of a large population will resolve the origin of their enigmatic emissions. This project will deliver a catalogue of localised fast radio bursts, pinpointed to host galaxies and an explanation for how and what produces the bursts. This will demonstrate the capabilities of novel Australian technology, and deliver benefit, underpinning a plan for surveys for next generation radio telescopes such as the Square Kilometre Array.
