Full description

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond bursts that are thought to arise from extragalactic, but yet unknown, progenitors. They have presented a true mystery in that so far no progenitor theory can adequately account for their observed properties. We request observations that will seek ``direct'' optical FRB counterparts---emission coincident or just adjacent to the FRB in time---via a coordinated observing campaign with the Skymapper telescope. Our observations will also continue to execute a test of whether targeted observations are more effective than broad survey observations for discovering FRBs; this would be the case if FRBs originate in nearby galaxies. Any FRB detected by our survey will also gather polarisation data, providing critical further information to assess the nature and origin of these mysterious bursts.
