The Spectral Properties of the Bright Fast Radio Burst Population

We examine the spectra of 23 fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected in a fly's-eye survey with the Australian SKA Pathfinder, including those of three bursts not previously reported. The mean spectral index of α = -1.5 -0.3+0.2 (Fv ∞ v α) is close to that of the Galactic pulsar population. The sampl...
