Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely ...

Astronomers have observed over a thousand of them to date; some come from sources that repeatedly emit FRBs, while others ...

For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical ...

Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon ...

Scientists from Northwestern University and McGill University have made a discovery that challenges existing theories about ...

Investigating the enigmatic origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has taken a surprising turn. These millisecond-long radio ...

Fast radio bursts are mysterious and brief flashes of radio emissions that were thought to be produced by magnetars, highly magnetized rotating neutron stars. Yet magnetars appear primarily in young ...

Large stars have cosmically short lifetimes, so the fact that this FRB occurred in an old, long-dead galaxy means that the ...

A fast radio burst is a transient radio pulse of a length ranging from a fraction of a millisecond to 3 seconds, caused by some high-energy astrophysical process. This process is not yet fully ...

Scintillation measurements show that FRB 20221022A originated from the highly magnetized region around a neutron star, challenging existing models of conditions there ...
