Invited talk in the parallel session What can we learn from a growing sample of Fast Radio Bursts? What Can We Learn from a Growing Sample of Fast Radio Bursts?

Speaker

Amanda Weltman (University of Cape Town)

Description

Over the last 5 years, the amount of data we have about Fast Radio Bursts has grown at a rapid, indeed accelerating rate. The next 5 years promises to bring even more data and, with it, the opportunity to really tackle some key questions both in our understanding of FRB physics and of the Universe on large scales. In this talk we will focus on the role FRBs may play as tools of discovery and provide somewhat of a theorist's wishlist for the coming decade of discovery.
