Exploring the Universe with Fast Radio Bursts

Speaker: Zhengxiang Li (BNU)

Venue: Video Conference

Time: 16:00 PM, Thursday, May. 12, 2022

Abstract:

There are several serious challenges in the cosmological standard concordance model, such as the Hubble constant tension or the nature of dark energy, the dark matter candidates, and the missing baryon. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious transients with short durations (~a few milliseconds) and cosmological origins. Their some key properties enable them as one of the most promising probes for measuring some fundamental cosmological parameters, constraining the abundance of compact dark matter objects, locating missing baryons, etc. In this talk, I will discuss the possibility of using FRBs to explore the Universe from these aspects.
