Sentinel-X: An Automated FRB-Magnetar Correlation Pipeline and Initial Detection Results
We describe Sentinel-X, an automated pipeline for real-time correlation of Fast Radio Burst (FRB) detections with known Galactic magnetars. The system ingests live CHIME/FRB event streams via GCN/SCIMMA Kafka and scores events against 31 magnetars from the McGill Magnetar Catalog using angular distance, dispersion measure consistency, and galactic plane weighting. We report three candidate FRB-magnetar associations from initial operations on 2026 March 12-13, including a cluster of 9 real-time CHIME stream candidates near SGR 1830-0645, a persistent correlation between FRB20190128D and SGR 1900+14 (composite score 0.776, DM consistency 0.954), and a spatial cluster of 6 catalog FRBs near 4U 0142+61. All results are candidate associations requiring independent verification.
