Evan Keane: Fast Radio Bursts and SUPERB

Marsfield Lecture Theatre

Abstract

In this talk I will summarise the many developments that have occurred in fast radio burst science in the last year. I will describe the SUPERB survey, and its latest discoveries of FRBs and pulsars. I will review the current status of the global FRB search effort and their abilities to localise and follow-up events, as well as looking forward to the prospects over the coming few years, where progress in this exciting field is expected to be ever more rapid.
