Brief description
We propose to carry out fortnightly monitoring of a very active repeater, FRB~190520, with the Parkes UWL system. Our current observations show that FRB~190520 is not only the most active FRB that can be observed with Parkes, but also shows extreme rotation measure (RM) variations and unique behavior at 2 to 3 GHz frequency. This makes UWL the ideal instrument to carry out in-depth studies of this repeating FRB. With this program, we expect to detect a large sample of bursts from FRB~190520, and in collaboration with the FAST telescope, we will study the local environment, emission properties, fluence distributions, and polarisation properties over an extremely wide bandwidth with high sensitivity.Available: 2023-04-14
