Information on Service 'PSRFITS access link'
Further access options are discussed below
This is the release of data from the Apertif Radio Transient System
(ARTS), a supercomputing radio-telescope instrument that performs
real-time FRB detection and localisation on the Westerbork Synthesis
Radio Telescope (WSRT) interferometer. It reaches coherent-addition
sensitivity over the entire field of the view of the primary- dish
beam. After commissioning results verified the system performed as
planned, we initiated the Apertif FRB survey (ALERT). Over the first 5
weeks we observed at design sensitivity in 2019, we detected 5 new
FRBs, and interferometrically localised each of these to 0.4−10 sq.
arcmin. All detections are broad band and very narrow, of order 1 ms
duration, and unscattered. Dispersion measures are generally high.
