“Observations of Fast Radio Bursts at Frequencies Down to 400 Megahertz<\/em>\u201d and \u201cA Second Source of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts<\/em>\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Nature<\/em>, vol. 566, no. 7743, 14 February 2019, 230-234 and Nature<\/em>, vol. 566, no. 7743, 14 February 2019, 235-238, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n ART 210<\/span><\/p>\n The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), located at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory near Penticton, BC, is the newest and largest radio telescope in Canada and one of the largest in the world. UBCO scientists and their collaborators across Canada and around the world are using CHIME to unlock the mysteries of dark energy in the universe, magnetic fields in our Milky Way Galaxy, and fast radio bursts. As of 2020, CHIME has now discovered most of the known fast radio bursts and is providing many clues to help us understand the origin of these enigmatic events.<\/span><\/p>\n Description Source: Nature (for both “Observations…”<\/a>\u00a0and “A second…”<\/a>). Published 2019 (7743).<\/span><\/p>\n Dr Alex S. Hill<\/strong> is an astronomer who joined the faculty at UBC Okanagan in 2019. After completing his PhD in Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2011, he held research positions at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation\u2019s Australia Telescope National Facility in Sydney, at Haverford College near Philadelphia, and at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory near Penticton, BC. His research focuses on gas and magnetic fields between the stars in the Milky Way galaxy.<\/span><\/p>\n Dr Tom Landecker<\/strong> holds Adjunct appointments at the University of Calgary (Physics and Astronomy), the University of British Columbia Okanagan (Physics and Engineering), and the University of Sydney (Physics). He was Principal Research Officer in the Radio Astronomy Program of NRC-Herzberg until his retirement in January 2014. Since his retirement, he has continued his research in astronomy and the engineering of radio telescopes.<\/span><\/p>\n Together with the other members of the CHIME\/FRB Collaboration:\u00a0M.
