Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)
Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST)
The BURST project will perform deep FRB searches with MOSTS’s wide field-of-view and nearly constant single pulse searches of the radio sky.
MOST provides a huge collecting area of about 18,000 square meters for a very large field of view, about 8 square degrees of the sky.
1,000 terabytes of data produced by MOST each day
They determined the three new FRBs really were from space because the events were well beyond the 10,000 km near-field limit of the telescope, which ruled out local (terrestrial) sources of interference as a possible origin.
