The first fast radio burst to be described, the Lorimer Burst FRB 010724, was found in 2007 in archived data recorded by the Parkes Observatory on 24 July 2001. Since then, many FRBs have been found in previously recorded data.

FRB 010724, also known as ‘the Lorimer burst’, is considered to be the first FRB discovery (Lorimer et al., 2007). It was discovered before the term ‘fast radio burst’ was even coined (the term was introduced by Thornton et al., 2013), and remains one of …

In 2007, astronomers studying archival data serendipitously identified a bright flash of radio waves, lasting a few milliseconds, that was apparently of extragalactic origin. This previously unknown type of signal is now called a fast radio burst (FRB).

We critically reanalyse current estimates of the FRB source count distribution. We demonstrate that the Lorimer burst (FRB 010724) is subject to discovery bias, and should be excluded from all statistical studies of the population.

May 24, 2019 · The Lorimer burst ( Lorimer et al. 2007, now also known as FRB 010724), as seen in the beam of the Parkes multi-beam receiver where it appeared brightest. These data have been one-bit digitized and contain 96 frequency channels sampled every millisecond.

Oct 27, 2023 · In 2007, FRB 010724 was reported by Lorimer et al. as the first detected fast radio burst (FRB). It was discovered during an analysis of archived pulsar survey data, recorded simultaneously in three adjacent beams by the Parkes radio telescope of Australia.

Feb 24, 2016 · That burst, now known as FRB 010724, showed a clear dependence of pulse arrival time on frequency, with the highest-frequency signals travelling fastest through the ionized interstellar medium...

Oct 30, 2017 · We critically reanalyse current estimates of the FRB source counts distribution. We demonstrate that the Lorimer burst (FRB 010724) is subject to discovery bias, and should be excluded from all statistical studies of the population.

Feb 15, 2019 · We report the discovery of a new fast radio burst (FRB), FRB~010312, in archival data from a 1.4\,GHz survey of the Magellanic Clouds using the multibeam receiver on the Parkes 64\,m-diameter radio telescope. These data sets include the Lorimer burst (FRB~010724), which it pre-dates and which we also re-detect.
