Fast Radio Bursts with ASKAP in 3 acts

Keith Bannister –  CSIRO – Sydney

The Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is one of the leading fast radio burst detection and localisation telescopes. I will review some of the scientific highlights through the lens of three distinct observing phases: the fly’s-eye wide-field mode, the incoherent sum mode, and a new coherent mode we are currently developing. Key among these highlights include the dispersion measure-fluence relation, first accurate localisation of a once-off FRB, constraints on the density and magnetisation of a galactic halo, and the detection of « missing baryons » through the first measurement of the dispersion measure – redshift relation, also known as the Macquart relation.
