Prospects for the detection of fast radio bursts with the Murchison Widefield Array
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short timescale («1 s) astrophysical radio signals, presumed to be a signature of cataclysmic events of extragalactic origin. The discovery of six high-redshift events at ~1400 MHz from the Parkes radio telescope suggests that FRBs may occur at a high rate across the sky...
