BURSTT-256 recently detected its first FRB, a technological breakthrough and a critical proof-of-concept for this new approach to radio astronomy. The left figure indicates the dynamic spectrum of BURSTT-256’s first-detected FRB after the correction for the dispersion measure. BURSTT-256’s first FRB is located at the bright end with the low dispersion measure. This initial result demonstrates the capability of BURSTT to explore a new parameter space: the bright FRB populations in the local Universe. Please see the following page for details.
