Strange flashes from ancient galaxy deepen mystery of fast radio bursts
Unusual detection bolsters evidence that the mysterious signals can be caused by different astrophysical events.
Fast radio burst detected in 'dead' galaxy raises questions about mysterious signals
A fast radio burst, or a strong pulse of energy, was tracked to a distant long-dead galaxy that astronomers never thought could produce such a signal.
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.
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),
Astronomers fixated on fast radio bursts from very different space locations
Fresh research has indicated that astronomers have discovered fast radio bursts (FRBs) emanating from a far-distant ‘dead’ galaxy
Astronomers discover repeating radio bursts from distant 'dead' galaxy
Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of signals.
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.
Researchers Intrigued by Mysterious Fast Radio Burst Originating From Ancient Galaxy
Researchers Intrigued by Mysterious Fast Radio Burst Originating From Ancient Galaxy Researchers have been observing fast radio bursts in space for years and continue to be intrigued by them because of the huge energy they release.
