A survey for transients and variables with the Murchison Widefield Array 32-tile prototype at 154 MHz by Bowman, Judd D., Goeke, Robert F., Hewitt, Jacqueline N., Morgan, Edward H., Remillard, Ronald Alan, Williams, Christopher Leigh

“…We attribute this variability to either refractive scintillation or intrinsic variability. No radio transients were identified and we place an upper limit on the surface density of sources ρ < 7.5 × 10[superscript −5] deg[superscript −2] with flux densities >5.5 Jy, and characteristic time-scales of both 26 min and 1 yr.…”

Implications of Narrow Spectra of Fast Radio Bursts by Yuan-Pei Yang

“…For the maser mechanism, the negative absorption process can naturally cause a narrow spectrum. (3) Most absorption and scattering processes seem not to significantly change the observed spectra based on the current observation of some FRB repeaters. (4) Scintillation and plasma lensing in the FRB source environment can modulate the spectra, leading to the narrow spectra and the burst-to-burst variation of spectra. …”
