The first CHIME/FRB catalogue and beyond
Event Start:
2021-06-28T15:00:00
Event End:
2021-06-28T16:00:00
Event Information:
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity-Mapping Experiment (CHIME) opens a whole new window on the Universe and this new catalogue of more than 500 fast radio bursts (FRBs) provides a treasure trove of data for understaning FRBs. For the first time, we can study a population of FRBs from a single telescope. We see that they come from all over the sky and across the Universe, from very nearby galaxies to more than halfway back to the Big Bang. We also see that there may be more than one type of FRB.
