Abstract
The rate of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the direction of nearby galaxy
clusters is expected to be higher than the mean cosmological rate if
intrinsically faint FRBs are numerous. In this paper, we describe a targeted
search for faint FRBs near the core of the Virgo cluster using the Australian
Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder telescope. During 300 hr of observations, we
discovered one burst, FRB 180417, with dispersion measure DM
