The movement of magnetic materials could breach the star's dense shell, sending a burst of energy into the cosmos that we ...

Using the CHIME telescope, an international team of astronomers has detected a new repeating fast radio burst (FRBs) source ...

"Very little is known about what causes the formation of magnetars," researcher Kritti Sharma said. "Our work helps to answer this question." ...

The first fast radio burst, or FRB, was discovered in 2007, and since then, hundreds of these quick, intense events have been detected coming from distant points across the universe. In a ...

Scientists have discovered more clues about the birth of fast radio bursts (FRBs) emitted from distant galaxies whose origins ...

Astronomers have been studying these fast radio bursts, or FRBs, from across the universe since 2007, when the first millisecond-long burst was discovered. While more of these cosmic flashes have ...

This is not surprising if FRB progenitors are magnetars. Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of massive stars that have ...

Scientists have managed to trace a very short, very bright burst of radio waves to a type of highly magnetised dead star, known as a magnetar. It's the first time a so-called fast radio burst ...

which appears to be a fast radio burst event. The finding was reported in a research paper published October 17 on the pre-print server arXiv. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense bursts of radio ...

This photo montage shows the antennas of the Deep Synoptic Array-110, which are used to discover and pinpoint the locations of fast radio bursts (FRBs). Above the antennas are images of some of the ...

Researchers soon determined that a new fast radio burst was probably booming across the cosmos every second. Some of them seemed to be repeating, with new explosions of radio waves coming from the ...
