INTERSTELLAR SCINTILLATION AND THE RADIO COUNTERPART OF THE FAST RADIO BURST FRB 150418

Keane et al. have recently reported the discovery of a new fast radio burst (FRB), FRB 150418, with a promising radio counterpart at 5.5 and 7.5 GHz-a rapidly decaying source, falling from 200-300 μJy to 100 μJy on timescales of ~6 days. This transient source may be associated with an elliptical gal...
