Hunting the gamma-ray emission from Fast Radio Burst with Fermi-LAT

Understand

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most exciting new mysteries of astrophysics.

• Their origin is still unknown, but recent observations seems to link them to Soft Gamma Repeaters and, in particular, to magnetar giant flares (MGFs).
• The recent detection of a MGF at GeV energies by the \textit{Fermi} Large Area Telescope (LAT) motivated the search for GeV counterparts to the >100 currently known FRBs.
• Taking advantage of more than 12 years of \textit{Fermi}-LAT data, we perform a search for gamma-ray emission from all the reported repeating and non-repeating FRBs.
