Breaking news : UTMOST-2D finds its first FRB
Breaking news : UTMOST-2D makes its 25,000th pulsar observation
UTMOST is a project to continuously monitor Southern skies for pulsars, magnetars and Fast Radio Bursts using the Molonglo Radio Telescope.
We are a collaboration between the University of Sydney and Swinburne University of Technology. We are currently running a pulsar timing program doing around 70 pulsar measurements daily, and operating a Fast Radio Burst detection program simultaneously.
FRB210630A found at UTMOST
We are currently upgrading to UTMOST-2D — bringing the North-South arm of the telescope back into operation, as part of a major program to find the host galaxies of Fast Radio Bursts — a major step forward in solving the puzzle of what they are and where they come from.

Swinburne uses artificial intelligence to detect FRBs in real time
The striking three peaked temporal structure — and banded frequency structure — of FRB181017, have been used by UTMOST PhD student Wael Farah to better understand the properties of the ionised gas lying in intergalactic space.
