Funded Activity Summary

Origins and implications of cosmic explosions . This project aims to solve the origin of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) by conducting a study of a large sample (>100) of localised bursts detected with a new coherent FRB detection system called CRACO deployed at the Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). Such a rich sample will enable novel studies of the structure of the Universe. The powerful and sensitive CRACO system will also search for transients that last for hundreds of milliseconds, exploring new types of astrophysical phenomena that give insight into the Universe's extremes. These discoveries will have a significant impact on science, establishing Australia as a key player in the international FRB community.
