A research team led by McGill identifies neutron stars as the likely source of fast radio bursts, one of the universe's most ...

This rethink was brought about by an FRB first detected last year, which has been traced back to the "cosmic graveyard" of a massive "dead" galaxy filled with ancient stars located 2 billion light ...

This revelation began with the identification of FRB 20240209A, first detected in February 2024 by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME). Unlike typical one-off FRBs ...

Scientists have traced a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) to the edge of an ancient galaxy where star formation has drastically dropped. Researchers are struggling to explain what caused it.

“This new FRB shows us that just when you think you understand an astrophysical phenomenon, the universe turns around and surprises us,” said Northwestern’s Wen-fai Fong, a senior author on ...

But there's one source unlike any other that may hold the key to solving the mystery. It's called FRB 121102. It's the only known FRB that repeats. Astronomers have observed over 150 flashes from ...

Since then, radio telescopes such as the CHIME instrument at our observatory, which have very large fields of view have ...
