Explore fast radio transients using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in this 17-minute conference talk. Learn about the detection and analysis of rapid astronomical phenomena including Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), magnetars, and giant pulses from pulsars using one of the world's most sensitive radio telescope arrays. Discover the capabilities of the GMRT for studying both Galactic and cosmological fast transients, including single-pulse search techniques, pulse profile modeling, and polarimetric data analysis to understand propagation effects and emission physics. Gain insights into the ongoing commensal GMRT survey (SPOTLIGHT) and its role in probing fast transients, as well as the telescope's contribution to multi-wavelength follow-up studies of repeating FRBs and their host galaxies. Understand how the GMRT's unique design and sensitivity make it an essential tool for advancing our knowledge of these mysterious cosmic phenomena and their underlying physics.
