Parkes observations for project P1061 semester 2020OCTS_12

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) have extremely high brightness temperature, owing to their short-duration and prominent flux from the distant universe. The studies on emission mechanism of FRBs have met bottleneck for a long time unless a complete spectrum is measured. We propose to observe a new repeating FRB source, FRB 180301, using the Parkes ultra-wide-bandwidth receiver (UWL). This source was initially found by Parkes multibeam receivers and confirmed repetition by the FAST telescope. The source is still active until Jun 2020 from FAST follow-ups. It’s an ideal opportunity to capture comprehensive spectral information using the Parkes UWL. We demonstrate that the beam coverage is feasible and 30-hr observations are required for at least one detection.
