Three fast radio bursts monitoring with FAST
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are an extremely energetic cosmic phenomenon of short duration.
Description
Discovered only recently and with its origin still unknown, FRBs have already started to play a significant role in studying the distribution and evolution of matter in the Universe. FRBs can only be observed through radio telescopes, which produce petabytes of data, rendering the search for FRBs a challenging task.
Traditional techniques are computationally expensive, time-consuming, and generally biased against weak signals. Various machine learning algorithms have been developed and employed, all of which require substantial data sets. Here, we introduce the FAST data set for FRBs EXploration, built upon the observations obtained by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope.

Our data set comprises 600 positive samples of observed FRB signals from three sources and 1000 negative samples of noise and radio frequency interference. Furthermore, we provide a machine learning algorithm, Radio Single-Pulse Detection Algorithm Based on Visual Morphological Features (RaSPDAM), with significant improvements in efficiency and accuracy for FRB searches. We also employed the benchmark comparison between conventional single-pulse search software, namely, PRESTO and Heimdall, and RaSPDAM.
RaSPDAMv2 achieves an average precision of 97% and an average recall of 83%, with notable enhancements in computational performance. Future machine learning algorithms can use this as a reference point to measure their performance and identify potential improvements. By enabling more accurate and efficient detection of transient radio events, our work facilitates the FRB and pulsars search pipeline, enhances the potential for discovering new astrophysical phenomena.
