Description
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are surprisingly abundant, highly energetic extragalactic signals, the nature of which still remains a mystery. The use of radio interferometers to identify the host galaxies of FRBs and characterise their local environments plays a key role in identifying the progenitor(s) of FRBs. The bursts themselves exhibit complex time-frequency structure and polarimetric properties, which we can study using baseband data to help us understand the emission physics, and the role of propagation effects. In this talk, I will give an overview of the role high resolution instruments have played (and will play in the future) in our understanding of FRBs.
