The polarization of fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are bright astronomical transient phenomena, contains information about their environments. Using wide-band observations with two telescopes, we report measurements five repeating FRBs and find a trend lower at frequencies. This behavior is modeled as multipath scattering, characterized by single parameter, σRM, the rotation measure (RM) scatter. Sources higher σRM have RM magnitude scattering time scales. sources highest FRB 20121102A...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are characterized by millisecond durations, high Galactic latitude positions, and dispersion measures. Very recently, the cosmological origin of FRB 150418 has been confirmed \cite{kea16}, FRBs now strong competitors as probes. The simple sharp feature signal is ideal for them to probe some fundamental laws physics. Here we show that analyzing delay time between different frequencies, data can place stringent upper limits on rest mass photon. For at $z=0.492$, one...

The nature of dark matter remains obscure in spite decades experimental efforts. mass candidates can span a wide range, and its coupling with the Standard Model sector uncertain. All these unknowns make detection extremely challenging. Ultralight matter, m∼10−22 eV, is proposed to reconcile disagreements between observations predictions from simulations small-scale structures cold paradigm while remaining consistent other observations. Because large de Broglie wavelength local occupation...

The Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) project monitors two dozen millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in order to undertake a variety of fundamental physics experiments using the 64m radio telescope. Since June 2017 we have been undertaking commensal searches for fast bursts (FRBs) during MSP observations. Here, report discovery four FRBs (171209, 180309, 180311 and 180714). detected events include an FRB with highest signal-to-noise ratio ever at observatory, which exhibits unusual spectral...

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are bright radio transients with millisecond duration at cosmological distances. Since compact dark matter/objects (COs) could act as lenses and cause split of this kind very short signals, Mu$\rm{\tilde{n}}$oz et al. (2016) has proposed a novel method to probe COs lensing FRBs.

Abstract A nanohertz-frequency stochastic gravitational-wave background can potentially be detected through the precise timing of an array millisecond pulsars. This produces low-frequency noise in pulse arrival times that would have a characteristic spectrum common to all pulsars and well-defined spatial correlation. Recently North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves collaboration (NANOGrav) found evidence common-spectrum component their 12.5 yr data set. Here we report on...

Abstract Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration pulses occurring at cosmological distances with a mysterious origin. Observations show that least some FRBs produced by magnetars. All magnetar-powered FRB models require triggering mechanisms, among which the most popular is cracking of crust neutron star, called starquake. However, so far there has been no decisive evidence for this speculation. Here we report energy functions three active repeating FRBs, universal break around 10...
