A blast of radio waves from the outskirts of an ancient galaxy challenges theories about what creates such bursts.

The powerful burst was also traced to an unprecedented 130,000 light-years from its associated galaxy’s center, where few other stars exist. Fast radio bursts, strong pulses of energy detected ...

Scientists from Northwestern University and McGill University have made a discovery that challenges existing theories about the origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs). The findings, published in the ...

Astronomers have pinpointed an FRB outside a dead galaxy for the first time, challenging existing models that link FRBs to star-forming regions. Using the CHIME/FRB Outriggers, they suspect the burst ...

Astronomers tracking mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) stumbled upon an unexpected cosmic puzzle. A burst was detected from ...

Meanwhile, the other fast radio burst, which scientists observed pulsating over the course of several months, came from the outskirts of a distant dead, star-starved galaxy. Researchers utilized a ...

For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy -- an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with ...

Take, for instance, one such fast radio burst astronomers recently tracked to the distant outskirts of a long-dead galaxy. Based on what scientists thought they knew about fast radio bursts, referred ...

Astronomers have observed over a thousand of them to date; some come from sources that repeatedly emit FRBs, while others seem to burst once and go silent. You can produce this sort of sudden surge of ...

Astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to an ancient, dead elliptical galaxy, challenging the belief that FRBs originate only in young, star-forming regions.
