Astronomers have discovered the brightest fast radio burst ever detected and traced it to a nearby galaxy using a new network of CHIME Outrigger telescopes. The flash, nicknamed RBFLOAT, lasted only a ...

Astronomers have traced one of the universe’s most hyperactive sources of mysterious radio signals to a dwarf galaxy so faint it nearly disappeared in standard observations. Incredibly, that wasn’t ...

Astronomers studying a fast radio burst designated FRB 20221022A have pinned its origin to a compact region consistent with the magnetosphere of a neutron star, a finding that directly challenges ...

Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of signals, according to new research. The source of the ...

A discovery that linked a fast radio burst to a magnetar in the Milky Way showed that certain fast radio bursts come from magnetars. A new study explores whether all fast radio bursts could have ...
