Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon ...
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 ...
Astronomers have observed over a thousand of them to date; some come from sources that repeatedly emit FRBs, while others ...
Large stars have cosmically short lifetimes, so the fact that this FRB occurred in an old, long-dead galaxy means that the ...
While neutron stars typically rotate in milliseconds or seconds, ASKAP J1839-075 takes an astonishing 6.45 hours to complete ...
Among the most remarkable discoveries has been the identification of a fast radio outburst (FRB) by researchers at ...
This discovery contradicts current theories and laws of science. It involves a cosmic object that emits radio waves every 22 ...
One of the fast radio bursts appears to have come from the chaotic, magnetically active environment near a type of dense neutron star called a magnetar. Meanwhile, the other fast radio burst ...
This contradicts current theories and laws of science. It comes from a cosmic object that emits radio waves every 22 minutes.
