No description given.
The CHIME/FRB collaboration has published 18 repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources, and a further 7 still unpublished ones are know to our group via a MoU. The majority of the repeaters are at high declination (>60 degrees), i.e. they are circumpolar for many European radio telescopes. We are continuing to run a campaign with an ad-hoc VLBI array (On, Tr, Ir, Mc, Ur, Bd, Sv, Zc, Sh, Wb, Ef, Sr, eMERLIN, Gb, Ro70) that regularly (between 12 and 24 hours per week) monitors the most interesting and most promising of these FRBs. The aim of this campaign is to localise the FRBs with sub-arcsecond precision. We search the baseband data for bursts with a custom pipeline, turn around times are of order a week. Here we ask for correlation of our data in the event that we detect a burst of any of the FRBs in our VLBI recordings. We estimate that we can detect up to 10 FRBs over the course of one year, hence ask for 10 triggered correlator runs.
