Outrigger Catalog 1
Bursts traced to their galaxies.

The first catalog from CHIME/FRB Outriggers: 83 bursts localized to about 2″ × 60″ with CHIME and the KKO Outrigger, each with its most probable host galaxies from PATH, spectroscopic redshifts for the secure hosts, and limits on persistent radio emission.

How to use this table

Each row is one burst detected by CHIME. A burst made of several parts, called sub-bursts, has a row for each part.

  • Sort the table

    Click a column name to sort by it. Click it again to reverse the order. The arrow beside the name shows the current order.

  • Find out what a column means

    Point at or tap the information button beside a column name. Every column is also explained in the glossary.

  • See one burst in detail

    Click a burst name to open its own page, with all of its measurements and plots.

  • Search

    Type a burst name, such as FRB 20231229A, or the name of a repeating source, then press Search. To see every burst again, clear the box and press Search.

  • Choose which columns to show

    Click Columns, tick the ones you want, then press Apply. “Back to the default columns” restores the original set.

  • Move around

    Scroll sideways to see more columns; the burst name stays in place. Use the page numbers below the table to see more rows.

  • Dashes and limits

    A dash (—) means there is no value for that burst. A “<” before a number means the true value is below it.

  • Use the data yourself

    The table shows the published catalog. Download the full catalog to work with it in a spreadsheet or your own code.
