Wang et al. present the first results from a new ASKAP backend, the CRAFT (Commensal Realtime ASKAP Fast Transient) COherent (CRACO) upgrade. CRACO records millisecond time resolution visibility data, and searches for dispersed fast transient signals including fast radio bursts (FRB), pulsars, and ultra-long period objects (ULPO). With the visibility data, CRACO can localise the transient events to arcsecond-level precision after the detection. While primarily interested in Fast Radio Bursts, CRACO is also sensitive to bright pulses from pulsars. The image above shows examples of dynamic spectra for single pulse detections with CRACO from known Milky Way pulsars. White regions in the dynamic spectra have been flagged out due to the presence of RFI or to missing packets during the recording.
