Explore the discovery of two highly scattered Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) using the CRACO (Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients) survey in this 22-minute conference talk. Learn about the detection methods and characteristics of these highly scattered FRBs, which represent important additions to our understanding of these mysterious cosmic phenomena. Discover how CRACO's real-time detection capabilities enable the identification of FRBs with extreme scattering properties that may be missed by other surveys. Examine the implications of high scattering for FRB propagation through the interstellar and intergalactic medium, and understand how these discoveries contribute to our knowledge of FRB population statistics and the environments through which these signals travel. Gain insights into the technical challenges and solutions involved in detecting highly scattered transient signals, and explore how these findings advance our understanding of FRB emission mechanisms and the cosmic web structure they probe during their journey to Earth.
