Ingest Fast Radio Burst candidates from CHIME
There has been renewed interest in ensuring that we ingest FRB candidates coming from CHIME during O4. This requires the following:
-
Create/modify GCN listener to ingest events from CHIME -
Ensure FRB events can create external events either in their current form or with some wrapper function (i.e. get example GCN notice and see if can be uploaded directly) -
Contact GraceDB developers to add pipeline='CHIME'
andsearch='FRB'
if not already available -
Create new IGWN alert listener or modify GRB listener if similar enough to current workflow in order to fully include in RAVEN pipeline -
Determine expected rate (#/day) of FRBs from CHIME and whether individual significance (FAR?) of GRB is available or relevant (e.g. is very high significance so that FAR_FRB << FAR_GW
?) -
Determine time windows used in coincidence search ( CBC: [-2, +10]s
,Burst: [-120, +600]s
as in https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.12038?) -
Add relevant values to RAVEN pipeline (time window, raven.trigger_raven_alert
) and add exceptions when different from GRB workflow -
Add testing via pytests, internal MDCs, and/or O3 replay to ensure system works as expected
These tasks could be split among individuals, especially between getting events ingested vs getting events processed later (likely my job).
