Fast radio bursts: Physical origins and cosmological applications

Speaker: Fayin Wang (NJU)

Venue: SWIFAR Building 2111

Time: 16:00 PM, Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2025

Abstract:

Fast radio burst (FRB) is a type of extragalactic radio signal characterized by millisecond duration, high brightness temperature, and large dispersion measure. Since its discovery in 2007, research on fast radio bursts has made significant progress, but their physical origin remains unsolved. FRB has important applications in cosmology, including measuring the Hubble constant and searching for the "missing baryons". This talk will introduce the latest research progress on fast radio bursts, including observational progress, physical origins, and cosmological applications.
