The Future of Fast Radio Burst Science

Understand

The field of Fast Radio Burst (FRB) science is currently thriving and growing rapidly.

• The lines of active investigation include theoretical and observational aspects of these enigmatic millisecond radio signals.
• These pursuits are for the most part intertwined so that each keeps the other in check, characteristic of the healthy state of the field.
• The immediate future for FRB science is full of promise --- we will in the next few years see two orders of magnitude more FRBs discovered by the now diverse group of instruments spread across the globe involved in these efforts.
