In radio astronomy, a fast radio burst (FRB) is a transient radio pulse of length ranging from a fraction of a millisecond, for an ultra-fast radio burst, [2][3] to 3 seconds, [4] caused by some …

Jan 24, 2025 · Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon may originate in diverse ways.

2 days ago · Astronomers have traced the origin of a fast radio burst (FRB) to the edge of an ancient galaxy — suggesting that these mysterious, millisecond-long flashes of energy are …

Jan 24, 2025 · Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of signals.

Jan 1, 2025 · MIT astronomers pinned down the origins of at least one fast radio burst, a brief and brilliant explosion of radio waves emitted by an extremely compact object. The team’s novel …

Jan 9, 2024 · Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have found a rare event in an oddball place. It’s called a fast radio burst (FRB), a fleeting blast of energy that can – for a few …

Aug 31, 2023 · Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense blasts of radio waves that can emit as much energy as the sun puts out in three days — but in just thousandths of a second.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-time-scale bursts of coherent radio emission that are luminous enough to be detectable at cosmological distances. In this Review, I describe the …

Nov 5, 2020 · The mechanisms and origins of fast radio bursts are reviewed in connection with data and insights from the neighbouring fields of gamma-ray bursts and radio pulsars.

Oct 19, 2023 · Scientists have measured the most well-travelled fast radio burst to date. The bright, briefly detectable flash of energy has barrelled through the Universe for around eight …
