Searches for Fast Radio Transients
read the original abstract
We discuss optimal detection of fast radio transients from astrophysical objects while taking into account the effects of propagation through intervening ionized media, including dispersion, scattering and scintillation.Our analysis applies to the giant-pulse phenomenon exhibited by some pulsars, for which we show examples, and to radio pulses from other astrophysical sources, such as prompt radio emission from gamma-ray burst sources and modulated signals from extra-terrestrial civilizations.

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