title: Multiwavelength Constraints on the Origin of a Nearby Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source in a Globular Cluster (Public Data Release)

description: This Zenodo dataset contains the data for radio bursts B1-B9 from FRB 20200120E, as described in A. B. Pearlman et al., Nature Astronomy (2024) (see: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550-024-02386-6).

The following data products are included:



Channelized total intensity (Stokes I) data containing radio bursts B1-B5 from FRB 20200120E, recorded using the Effelsberg radio telescope during Pinpointing Repeating CHIME Sources with the EVN (PRECISE) VLBI observations. These data have a time resolution of 8 μs and were used in Figure 1 in A. B. Pearlman et al., Nature Astronomy (2024).

Channelized total intensity (Stokes I) data containing radio bursts B6-B9 from FRB 20200120E, recorded using the Effelsberg radio telescope. These data have a time resolution of 64 μs and were used in Figure 1 in A. B. Pearlman et al., Nature Astronomy (2024).

Frequency-summed total intensity (Stokes I) burst profiles of radio burst B4. The frequency range and time resolution of the data are listed below. These data were used in Extended Data Figure 2 (panels b, c, and d) in A. B. Pearlman et al., Nature Astronomy (2024).



frb20200120e_b4_8us_1254-1510mhz_burst_profile.npz; (frequency range, time resolution) = (1254-1510 MHz, 8 μs)

frb20200120e_b4_1us_1302-1478mhz_burst_profile.npy; (frequency range, time resolution) = (1302-1478 MHz, 1 μs)

frb20200120e_b4_31.25ns_1398-1414mhz_burst_profile.npy; (frequency range, time resolution) = (1398-1414 MHz, 31.25 ns)




We also provide the following Python code containing functions that can be used to load and plot the radio data. The plots generated by this code are similar to those shown in Figure 1 and Extended Data Figure 2 (panels b, c, and d) in A. B. Pearlman et al., Nature Astronomy (2024).
