Optical/NIR follow-up of fast radio bursts in the era of interferometers

61-010 Andrea Rossi

Summary:

What are fast radio bursts (FRBs)?

The short answer: nobody knows. It may well be that this program will help providing a better answers!

Our proposal

We aim at detecting and characterizing the optical and near-infrared counterparts of FRBs. The first key step is simply to localize such objects, assuming that they have detectable optical emission.

Calibrations

Twilight flats and bias frames from alfosc-calibs

Observations

The PI will send the target and observing information when this ToO is triggered.
