Fast Radio Bursts: Searches, Sensitivities & Implications [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.05165


Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration transient signals discovered over the past decade. Here we describe the scientific usefulness of FRBs, consider ongoing work at the Parkes telescope, and examine some relevant search sensitivity and completeness considerations. We also look ahead to the results from ongoing and future planned studies in the field.
