Making Sense of the Fast Radio Burst Population

Event Poster

Duncan Lorimer (West Virginia University)

 TSI Seminar

Fast radio bursts are bright pulses of millisecond duration of extragalactic origin that astronomers have been studying since their discovery almost two decades ago. Following a brief introduction to the field, I will review recent and ongoing projects that aim to better characterize the nature of the underlying populations of these enigmatic sources. I will conclude with some ideas about future projects which I hope will be of broad interest.




Upcoming Seminars

TSI Seminars take place weekly during the Fall and Winter terms. TSI seminars are intended to be accessible to scientists from the entire breadth of backgrounds at TSI, including, Physics, Planetary Science, Geology, Atmospheric Science, and Astrobiology. Our seminar series is partially funded by the Centre de recherche en astrophysique du Québec (CRAQ).
