Follow-up of the First Fast Radio Burst Discovered with Arecibo

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a new class of short-duration radio bursts discovered in archival data from pulsar surveys. FRBs may represent a new class of astrophysical sources at extragalactic distances ­ inferred from their large dispersion measures. Seven FRBs are now in the published literature with the first six discovered by the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia. Recently, Arecibo became the first independent telescope to confirm the existence of FRBs when a burst was discovered by the Pulsar ALFA survey. No repeat events have been seen from any FRB sky position, although most follow-up has been fairly limited. We propose to follow-up the Arecibo FRB with a larger field-of-view, more time, and greater range of observing frequencies than has been done for any other FRB. As repeatability (or lack thereof ) is crucial to understanding the nature of these sources, systematic and thorough follow-up is essential.
