We report the real-time discovery of a fast radio burst (FRB 131104) with the Parkes radio
telescope in a targeted observation of the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The dispersion
measure of the burst is 779 cm− 3 pc, exceeding predictions for the maximum line-of-sight
Galactic contribution by a factor of 11. The temporal structure of the burst is characterized by
an exponential scattering tail with a timescale of 2.0$^{+ 0.8} _ {-0.5} $
