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 ...

For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy -- an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with ...

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

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 ...

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

In February 2024, scientists on Earth detected a powerful radio blast from outer space. Seeking to discover where it had come ...

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