DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Apurba Bera (Netherlands Institute for Radio Astrono
 my\, The Netherlands)\n\nFast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are mysterious short-dur
 ation flashes of intense radio emission of unknown origin. Although hundre
 ds of such events have been detected till now\, the nature of their source
 s and the associated emission mechanism(s) remain elusive. Circumstantial 
 evidence suggests that the FRB emission is associated with compact\, magne
 tized and highly energetic objects — such as neutron stars. Polarization
  of the FRB signals carry key information about the emission source as wel
 l as the magneto-ionic media the signal passes through before reaching Ear
 th. Variation of the polarization state of the signals with time and frequ
 ency provides important clues about the dynamical properties of the emissi
 on source and the energetic environment surrounding it. In this talk I wil
 l discuss the observed polarization properties of FRBs\, focusing on the s
 ample detected in the Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients (CRAFT) su
 rvey\, and their implications on the nature of FRB source and emission mec
 hanism.\n\nhttps://scitalks.tifr.res.in/event/9384/
