Fast radio bursts are bright, unresolved and short flashes of radio emission originating from outside the Milky Way. The origin of these mysterious outbursts is unknown, but their high luminosity and short duration has prompted much speculation. The discovery that FRB 121102 repeats has enabled multiwavelength follow up, which has identified the host galaxy. VERITAS has observed the location of FRB 121102, including coincident observations with Arecibo. We present the results of a search for steady very high energy gamma-ray emission and the methodology for searching for short timescale, transient optical and very high energy gamma-ray emission.

  1. 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.

  2. Searching for optical and VHE counterparts of fast radio bursts with MAGIC

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    MAGIC found no very-high-energy gamma-ray or optical counterpart within 10 ms of five radio bursts from repeating FRB 121102, and set flux upper limits on its persistent emission.
