CHIME/FRB is the fast radio burst project of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), a radio telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory near Penticton, British Columbia. Its four cylindrical reflectors watch a wide strip of the northern sky as the Earth turns, while software searches the incoming signal in real time for fast radio bursts: millisecond flashes of radio light from distant galaxies.
The collaboration publishes its catalogs and data products at chime-frb.ca, free for research and public use.
