Abstract
The number of observed Fast Radio Burst (FRB) events has grown rapidly over the last few years, but their origin remains unknown. Multiwavelength follow-ups have been encouraged by radio astronomers but the transient nature of the events makes targeted follow-ups difficult unless a source is known to repeat. A wide field-of-view instrument, such as HAWC can overcome this limitation using archival data. In this study we search for very high energy (VHE) gamma rays from FRB source locations over the largest population studied at this energy. Using data from the HAWC Observatory we look at over 200 FRB events from 141 unique locations and search for persistent emission and transient activity in 600 s surrounding the burst time. The results are then placed in context of available models and maximum gamma-ray emission levels from FRBs.
