The possibility of Fast Radio Burst (FRB) emission being suppressed at low frequencies, resulting in a cutoff of the average rest-frame spectrum, has been raised as an explanation for the lack of detections at meter wavelengths. We examine…

Among the thousands of observed fast radio bursts (FRBs), a few sources exhibit exceptionally high burst activity observable by many telescopes across a broad range of radio frequencies. Almost all of these highly active repeaters have been…

We undertook coordinated campaigns with the Green Bank, Effelsberg, and Arecibo radio telescopes during Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton observations of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 to search for simultaneous radio and…

The intrinsic width and scattering distributions of fast radio bursts (FRBs) inform on their emission mechanism and local environment, and act as a source of detection bias and, hence, an obfuscating factor when performing FRB population…

We consider the possible observation of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) with planned future radio telescopes, and investigate how well the dispersions and redshifts of these signals might constrain cosmological parameters. We construct mock…

The polarization of fast radio bursts (FRBs), bright astronomical transients, contains crucial information about their environments. We report polarization measurements of five repeating FRBs, the abundant signals of which enable wide-band…

Estimating the all-sky rate of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has been difficult due to small-number statistics and the fact that they are seen by disparate surveys in different regions of the sky. In this paper we provide limits for the FRB rate…

We survey the spectro-temporal properties of fast radio bursts from FRB 20121102A observed by earlier studies across a wide range of frequencies. We investigate 167 bursts from FRB 20121102A spanning frequencies 1--7.5GHz, durations of less…

The fluence distribution of the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) population (the "source counts" distribution, $N(>F) \propto F^\alpha$), is a crucial diagnostic of its distance distribution, and hence the progenitor evolutionary history. We…

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most tantalizing mysteries of the radio sky; their progenitors and origins remain unknown and until now no rapid multiwavelength follow-up of an FRB has been possible. New instrumentation has…

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are transient sources that emit a single radio pulse with a duration of only a few milliseconds. Since the discovery of the first FRB in 2007, tens of similar events have been detected. However, their physical…

The puzzling mechanism of coherent radio emission remains unknown, but fortunately, repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide a precious opportunity, with extremely bright subpulses created in a clear and vacuum-like pulsar magnetosphere.…

The dispersion of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is a measure of the large-scale electron distribution. It enables measurements of cosmological parameters, especially of the expansion rate and the cosmic baryon fraction. The number of events is…

The observed Fast Radio Burst (FRB) population can be divided into one-off and repeating FRB sources. Either this division is a true dichotomy of the underlying sources, or selection effects and low activity prohibit us from observing…

We study the statistical properties of the soft gamma repeater SGR 1935+2154. We find that the cumulative distributions of duration, waiting time, fluence and flux can be well fitted by bent power law. In addition, the probability density…

Given the possible repetitive nature of fast radio bursts (FRBs), their cosmological origin, and their high occurrence, detection of strongly lensed sources due to intervening galaxy lenses is possible with forthcoming radio surveys. We…

The behaviour of fast radio bursts (FRBs) at radio frequencies <400 MHz is not well understood due to very few detections, with only two known sources detected below 300 MHz. Characterising low-frequency emission of FRBs is vital for…

We investigate how the statistical properties of dispersion measure (DM) and apparent flux density/fluence of (non-repeating) fast radio bursts (FRBs) are determined by unknown cosmic rate density history [$\rhoFRB (z)$] and luminosity…

The repeating FRB 121102 emitted a pair of discrete bursts separated by 37 ms and another pair, 131 days later, separated by 34 ms, during observations that detected FRB at a mean rate of $2 \times 10^{-4}$/s. Here I assume that these…
