Thoughts on the subject

I am forming some thought relating tobursts etc. As we have all read about as well as seen the profiles of the bursts done in BATSE, CHIME etc. They appear to be similar as to their profiles/parameters. What I am noticing is that some things might differ with the standard thought.

The CHIME ARTICLE - https://www.americaspace.com/2019/08/29/8-new-repeating-fast-radio-burst...

The observations are very similar to the one I observed (again, making no claims) in the Coma Berencies. If I'm looking at this article correctly, the burst seems stronger at the higher frequency? Dispersion reversed? Possibly the event can change due the different mediums they travel through. Some effects we have not thought about?

We also know that amateurs are more flexible when observing as shown in the optical platform. Drift scans are my preferred method, less can go wrong mechanically in the amateur setup.

As to the triggering mechanism, black, supernova etc. I feel that the amount of time, ie. instantaneously or longer lasting, short burst vs. long burst there might be residual energy (tailing) signal that one might pick up in the dB realm?

Again, thoughts and maybe some discussion? Things are not always what they seem? Like your professor said.

ALERT MECHANISM - I do think that a phone trigger would get to everyone quickly as well as the email alert. A fast slewing, centrally located, simple configuration antenna/receiver can be done. With the SBC technology, I am convinced it can be a reality.

To the Forum, that area would be a place for discussion, collaboration and ideas. From that, we can see a way forward for science and education.
