Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can be used to map out the distribution of matter in our universe. The Caltech Deep Synoptic Array (DSA) will be able to find tens of thousands of FRBs. Listen to Professor of Astronomy Vikram Ravi to explain more and why that is so exciting.

Our Special Session at #AAS248 was a great success 🔭 ‼️ We highlighted the wide range of science that data from the DSA will enhance: Multimessenger Astronomy, the Dynamic Radio Sky, Our Cosmic History (deep HI and continuum imaging), as well as the Dark Sector & Strong Gravity.

It’s been an exciting #AAS247 as the DSA was announced to be part of the Schmidt Observatory System and we can share that we are funded for construction by Schmidt Sciences! We are looking forward to opening up the dynamic radio sky to the worldwide astronomy community. 🔭
