Gianni Bernardi (INAF-IRA), "The Northern Cross Fast Radio Burst project: first results"
Fast Radio Burst (FRBs) are millisecond-long, Jy-bright highly dispersed radio signals first found in 2008 - they are now teenagers! Despite their detection rate has been increasing steadily, their nature remains still unknown. In this talk I will describe the ongoing work at the Medicina radio station in order to turn the Northern Cross telescope into an FRB survey machine.
