Fast radio bursts appear to be caused by young neutron stars
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Originally discovered in 2007 by American astronomer Duncan Lorimer (for whom the "Lorimer Burst" is named),
Two mysterious fast radio bursts originated from wildly different places in space
Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon may originate in diverse ways.
Unexpected discovery: fast radio bursts detected in an ancient galaxy 💥
A recent astronomical discovery is shaking up our understanding of fast radio bursts (FRBs). These cosmic phenomena, previously associated with young galaxies, have been detected in an ancient
First-ever fast radio burst (FRB) found in an ancient, elliptical galaxy
Investigating the enigmatic origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has taken a surprising turn. These millisecond-long radio flares, radiating immense energy, have traditionally been linked to galaxies with active star formation.
A recent fast radio burst calls into question what astronomers believed they knew
Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely pinpoint the origin of repeated bursts of intense radio waves—so-called fast radio bursts (FRBs)—emanating from somewhere in the northern constellation Ursa Minor.
Astronomers stumble upon bizarre radio bursts from an “inactive” galaxy
In a twist that’s got the astronomy world buzzing, scientists have picked up fast-repeating radio signals coming from a galaxy once thought to be out of action. Called Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), these quick blips last just milliseconds but pack as much energy in that tiny moment as our sun does in a whole day.
