abstract

Pulsar surveys offer one of the few opportunities to monitor even a small fraction (~0.00001) of the radio sky for impulsive burst-like events with millisecond durations. In analysis of archival survey data, we have discovered a 30-Jy dispersed burst of duration <5 ms located three degrees from the Small Magellanic Cloud. The burst properties argue against a physical association with our Galaxy or the Small Magellanic Cloud. Current models for the free electron content in the Universe imply a distance to the burst of <1 Gpc No further bursts are seen in 90-hr of additional observations, implying that it was a singular event such as a supernova or coalescence of relativistic objects. Hundreds of similar events could occur every day and act as insightful cosmological probes.

Relativistically-strong electromagnetic waves in magnetized plasmas

astro-ph.HE · 2025-09-21 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Nonlinear relativistic EM waves in magnetized plasmas show modified dispersion relations where subluminal modes terminate at finite frequency when wave electric field exceeds guide field B0, preventing further propagation.

Low-frequency VLBI with the SKA-Low

astro-ph.IM · 2026-06-23 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

LAMBDA proposes megameter-scale baselines using additional Australian stations to extend SKA-Low for high-resolution low-frequency VLBI.

Updating the PATH framework with FRB host galaxy models

astro-ph.HE · 2026-06-09 · conditional · novelty 4.0

PATH is extended with three fitted P(m_r|z) prior models combined with P(z|DM), raising host-association confidence for ASKAP FRBs while showing fainter-than-expected host magnitude distribution.

Fast Radio Bursts as Cosmological Probes

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

FRBs serve as cosmological probes via dispersion measure, scattering, and Faraday rotation to constrain baryon distribution, expansion history, magnetic fields, and fundamental physics effects.
