DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Melanie Szpigiel (McGill University)\nFast Radio Bur
 sts (FRBs) are highly energetic\, ~millisecond duration bursts of radio em
 ission with extragalactic origins that were discovered nearly 19 years ago
 . While there is some evidence suggesting FRBs may originate from magnetar
 s\, there still remains the question of whether all FRBs are produced by m
 agnetars. One potential method for further understanding FRB progenitors i
 s through cross-matching FRBs with different transients with a known proge
 nitor by searching for positional\, redshift\, and/or temporal coincidence
 s. In this talk\, I will discuss a new pipeline for the Canadian Hydrogen 
 Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) which automatically cross-matches all
  FRB candidates with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Swift observa
 tory and Fermi telescope\,  gravitational waves (GWs) detected by the Ligo
 -Virgo-Kagra (LVK) collaboration\, and optical transients reported in the 
 Transient Name Server (TNS). I will also describe the largest campaign to 
 cross-match over 4000 FRBs with all known gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to deter
 mine radio upper limits for GRBs within CHIME’s field of view. Finally\,
  I will discuss the results of FRB-TNS optical transient crossmatching as 
 a direct test to the FRB progenitor model.\n\nhttps://nyx.physics.mcgill.c
