abstract

We report on a search for high-energy counterparts to fast radio bursts (FRBs) with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM), Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), and the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). We find no significant associations for any of the 23 FRBs in our sample, but report upper limits to the high-energy fluence for each on timescales of 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 s. We report lower limits on the ratio of the radio to high-energy fluence, $\frac{f_{r}}{f_{\gamma}}$, for timescales of 0.1 and 100 s. We discuss the implications of our non-detections on various proposed progenitor models for FRBs, including analogs of giant pulses from the Crab pulsar and hyperflares from magnetars. This work demonstrates the utility of analyses of high-energy data for FRBs in tracking down the nature of these elusive sources.

  1. Periodic Fast Radio Bursts from Young Neutron Stars

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Repeating FRBs may be supergiant pulses from young, quickly spinning neutron stars; such sources would show periodic bursts that lengthen and fade over time.

  2. VERITAS Observations of Fast Radio Bursts

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    VERITAS found no gamma-ray or optical emission from 15 contemporaneous bursts of FRB 121102 or from the second repeater FRB 180814.J0422+73, setting new 95% upper limits.

  3. Searching for links between energetic millisecond pulsars and repeating fast radio bursts

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Wideband observations show M28A giant pulses differ from FRB 20200120E bursts in duration, luminosity, timing statistics, and spectral structure, yielding no strong evidence for a direct link.

  4. Rapid Response Triggering for Radio Transients with the SKA Observatory

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 accept novelty 3.0 of 10

    SKA-Low and SKA-Mid should implement automated rapid-response triggering on external and internal alerts to enable early radio observations of diverse transients.
