Real-time detection of a Fast Radio Burst at the Molonglo Radio Telescope
Abstract
On 2017-08-27-16:20:18 UTC (2017-08-27.68076389), we found a bright burst as part of the ongoing FRB search program (UTMOST), at the Molonglo telescope. Molonglo is a 1.6 km long East-West array (see Bailes et al 2017, arxiv 1708.09619) and was operating in drift-scan mode with pointing centred on the meridian at the time of detection.
