Astronomers braced for a revolution in fast radio burst localizations

Radio astronomers across the world are bracing themselves for a transformation in their ability to localize fast radio bursts (FRBs). Before the end of the year, upgrades to a suite of FRB-hunting telescopes are expected to increase the localization rate of FRBs to their host galaxies by more than an order of magnitude – potentially revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.
