Since fast radio bursts (FRBs) were first discovered over a decade ago, scientists have puzzled over what could be generating these intense flashes of radio waves from outside of our galaxy. In a gradual process of elimination, the field of possible explanations has narrowed as new pieces of information are gathered about FRBs – how long they last, the frequencies of the radio waves detected, and so on. Now, a team led by McGill University researchers and members of Canada’s CHIME Fast Radio Burst collaboration has established that FRBs include radio waves at frequencies lower than ever d...

Last Updated: Scientists Come Up With More Credible Theories On Mysterious Fast Radio Burst Two scientists groups have been tasked with the mission to uncover the mysteries of the fast radio bust discovered last year. Here are the details. Scientists come up with more credible theories on the mysterious fast radio bust (Image Source: Astron) In 2007, astronomers had discovered some mysterious signals, named fast radio burst (FRB), a phenomenon that they cannot yet explain. According to EarthSky, these bursts are short but strong. Although lasting .001 of a second long, the energy it ra...

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are mysterious, powerful, and extremely brief emission of radio waves almost exclusively from beyond the Milky Way (here’s the exception). Some are believed to be associated with magnetars, extremely magnetic neutron stars, and several of them are known to repeat with regularity. Among them, there’s FRB 180916. Scientists have witnessed the pattern of emission repeat every 16 days or so and believe that the emitting magnetar is orbiting another star or that it is spinning in a way that we are only getting the emission at regular intervals. Two new papers bring pro...
