In this paper, the authors reported the detection of an ultra-bright fast radio burst (FRB) from a modest, 34-day pilot survey with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder.Abstract:
We report the detection of an ultra-bright fast radio burst (FRB) from a modest, 34-day pilot survey with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder The survey was conducted in a wide-field fly's-eye configuration using the phased-array-feed technology deployed on the array to instantaneously observe an effective area of 160 deg^2, and achieve an exposure totaling 13200 deg^2 hr We constrain the position of FRB 170107 to a region 8^'x 8^' in size (90% containment) and its fluence to be 58 ± 6 Jy ms The spectrum of the burst shows a sharp cutoff above 1400 MHz, which could be due to either scintillation or an intrinsic feature of the burst This confirms the existence of an ultra-bright (> 20 Jy ms) population of FRBsread more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the interferometric localization of the single-pulse fast radio burst (FRB 180924) to a position 4 kiloparsecs from the center of a luminous galaxy at redshift 0.3214.

Fast radio bursts
TL;DR: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) as mentioned in this paper are the most common source of radio bursts and have a longer life cycle than the individual pulses from a pulsar and hence are many orders of magnitude more luminous than individual pulsars.

TL;DR: A large-scale survey of fast radio bursts—short pulses of radio waves that seem to come from cosmological distances—finds 20 events, including both the nearest and the most energetic bursts observed so far, and demonstrates that there is a relationship between burst dispersion and brightness.

TL;DR: The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a transit radio telescope operating across the 400-800 MHz band as discussed by the authors, which is used for the detection of fast radio bursts (FRBs).

A Bright Millisecond Radio Burst of Extragalactic Origin
TL;DR: A 30-jansky dispersed burst, less than 5 milliseconds in duration, located 3° from the Small Magellanic Cloud is found, which implies that it was a singular event such as a supernova or coalescence of relativistic objects.

TL;DR: The detection of four nonrepeating radio transient events with millisecond duration in data from the 64-meter Parkes radio telescope in Australia indicates that these radio bursts had their origin outside the authors' galaxy, but it is not possible to tell what caused them.
