A brief review on Fast Radio Bursts

This is a brief, non-exhaustive review of Fast Radio Burst (FRB), a new category of radio transients originating from extragalactic distances. We discuss the key observational properties known so far and the scientific applications of FRBs. We summarize the FRB-related research in the French astrophysics community, and conclude by sharing some insights to the future of FRB science.
