SUMMARY:CSIRO S&A Colloquium: Mattias Lazda (University of Toronto)
DESCRIPTION:The CHIME/FRB Outriggers: Project Overview and Commissioning Results\n\nAbstract \n\nThe CHIME/FRB Outriggers are a network of radio telescopes spanning continental North-America. Designed specifically for localizing fast radio bursts (FRBs) to <50 mas precision using very-long-baseline-interferometry\, the Outriggers will enable the precise localization of hundreds of non-repeating FRBs\, per year\, once fully operational. With the recent construction of the third and final outrigger now complete\, the Outriggers have officially unlocked the capability of precisely localizing non-repeating FRBs. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of the CHIME/FRB Outriggers project and a summary of the first stage of commissioning. By validating astrometric performance using a sample of known sources (e.g. pulsars and continuum sources)\, we show that the Outriggers can achieve a localization precision of 50 mas x 100 mas for a typical FRB event. I will discuss on-going efforts and upcoming plans to improve this ability to localize FRBs to the eventual goal of 50 mas x 50 mas precision for the majority of events detected by the CHIME/FRB Outriggers. I will close by highlighting the number of early science results that have been enabled by the Outriggers.  \nJoin Event on Microsoft Teams\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia
