ALERT, the Apertif Lofar Exploration of the Radio Transient Sky, will investigate the Northern Sky with unprecedented speed and precision, to determine the nature of some of the most powerful flashes and explosions in the Universe.

FRB 20180916B (DR1.3)


Apertif data accompanying Chromatic periodic activity down to 120 megahertz in a fast radio burst by Inés Pastor-Marazuela and team are available here. These data can be analysed with the tools shared at https://zenodo.org/record/4559593.

The LOFAR data are available through the LOFAR Long Term Archive, by searching for “Observations” at J2000 coordinates RA=01:57:43.2000, DEC=+65:42:01.020.
