The Search for Gravitational Waves Coincident with Fast Radio Bursts During LIGO Observing Run O3b

We present a search for transient gravitational wave events coincident with non-repeating fast radio bursts from the CHIME radio telescope, using the Advanced LIGO-Virgo interferometer network. Data analyzed in this search was collected during the Advanced LIGO-Virgo observing run O3b, between the dates of November 2019 and March 2020. The primary possible sources of emission of fast radio bursts we consider are compact binary coalescence between neutron stars (BNS) and neutron star-black hole (NSBH). While no strong correlation for gravitational waves has been found in coincidence with fast radio bursts in similar past analyses, the development of the CHIME telescope has vastly increased the number of fast radio burst detections, allowing for better statistics.
