The detection of the Fast Radio Burst, termed FRB 20190520B, has raised important questions about the source and origin of these signals. The researchers published their findings in a paper in Nature. The paper said the source of FRB 20190520B was “co-located with a compact, persistent radio source and associated with a dwarf host galaxy of high specific-star-formation”. … Read more
FRBs are extremely bright radio pulses from distant galaxies that last for only a few milliseconds, and though they were first detected fifteen years ago and over a thousand have been found so far, researchers still don’t know what kind of astronomical objects can produce so much energy in so little time. Astronomers of National … Read more
The source of these bursts was already being observed for half a by the astronomers when the flare-up occurred. (Image: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/Chris Smith (USRA)) Radio burst: Back in April-end, a fast radio burst (FRB) had been detected from within the Milky Way galaxy for the first time ever. Now, scientists have identified … Read more
