Blinkverse 2.0: Updated Host Galaxies for Fast Radio Bursts
Studying the host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is critical to understanding the formation processes of their sources and, hence, the mechanisms by which they radiate. Toward this end, we have extended the Blinkverse database version 1.0, which already included burst information about FRBs observed by various telescopes, by adding information about 92 published FRB host galaxies to make version 2.0. Each FRB host has 18 parameters describing it, including redshift, stellar mass, star-formation rate, emission line fluxes, etc. In particular, each FRB host includes images collated by FASTView, streamlining the process of looking for clues to understanding the origin of FRBs. FASTView is a tool and API for quickly exploring astronomical sources using archival imaging, photometric, and spectral data. This effort represents the first step in building Blinkverse into a comprehensive tool for facilitating source observation and analysis.
