Astronomers Pinpoint Origins of Mysterious Signal That Traveled 200 Million Years To Reach Us
The fleeting cosmic firework likely originated within the turbulent magnetosphere surrounding a distant neutron star. Fast radio bursts are brief and brilliant explosions of radio waves emitted by extremely compact objects such as neutron stars and possibly black holes.
Astronomers Pin Down the Origins of a Fast Radio Burst
Fast radio bursts are brief and brilliant explosions of radio waves emitted by extremely compact objects such as neutron stars and possibly black holes. These fleeting fireworks last for just a thousa
Scientists Trace Fast Radio Burst to Surprise Source For First Time
By studying the twinkling light of a fast radio burst detected in 2022, a team of astronomers has traced its source to the powerful magnetic field around a magnetar, in a galaxy 200 million light-years away.
Fast Radio Burst Followed To Source Just 10,000 Kilometers From A Neutron Star
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are incredible releases of energy – as much as the Sun releases in days – that last for a fraction of a second. Only very few have been tracked down to their sources and their actual origin continues to be uncertain.
