Synthesizing the intrinsic FRB population using frbpoppy

Understand

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are radio transients of an unknown origin.

• Naturally, we are curious as to their nature.
• Enough FRBs have been detected for a statistical approach to parts of this challenge to be feasible.
• To understand the crucial link between detected FRBs and the underlying FRB source classes we perform FRB population synthesis, to determine how the underlying population behaves.
