TL;DR
The paper reports initial findings from the ALFABURST survey at Arecibo, detecting known pulsar pulses but no fast radio bursts, aligning with expected FRB occurrence rates.
Contribution
This work provides the first observational results from the ALFABURST survey, demonstrating its capability to detect pulsars and setting constraints on FRB rates.
Findings
Detected pulses from known pulsars
No FRBs detected during 1400 hours
Results consistent with current FRB rate estimates
Abstract
Here, we present initial results from the ALFABURST radio transient survey, which is currently running in a commensal mode with the ALFA receiver at the Arecibo telescope. We observed for a total of 1400 hours and have detected single pulses from known pulsars but did not detect any FRBs. The non-detection of FRBs is consistent with the current FRB sky rates.
