neutron star, Fast radio burst
Fast radio burst confirmed to originate from neutron star
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are notoriously difficult to study. They are flashes of radio light that can outshine a galaxy but often last for only a fraction of a second. For years, all we could do was observe them by random chance and wonder about their origins.
Fast radio bursts originate near the surface of stars
But now, a rare burst has provided indications that FRBs likely originate near the star and that they share a feature with the emissions of pulsars, another subtype of neutron star.
Fast radio burst source detected in extreme proximity to neutron star in a first
Astronomers have detected thousands of these bursts, but how they are born has been a hotly debated topic. Some theories suggest they originate from powerful shockwaves, while oth
Scientists pin down the origins of a fast radio burst
Fast radio bursts are brief and brilliant explosions of radio waves emitted by extremely compact objects such as neutron stars and possibly black holes. These fleeting fireworks last for just a thousandth of a second and can carry an enormous amount of energy—enough to briefly outshine entire galaxies.
Astronomers Finally Pin Down the Origins of Fast Radio Bursts–By Analyzing Their Powerful Twinkling
Astronomers finally discovered the origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs)–mysterious and powerful bursts from outer space first seen in 2007.
The origins of a fast radio burst
Now, a team of astronomers from MIT has pinpointed the origin of one such fast radio burst using a novel technique that could be applied to other FRBs. In their study, the team focused on FRB 20221022A, detected from a galaxy 200 million light-years away.
Astronomers have pinpointed the origin of mysterious repeating radio bursts from space
Innew research, we have for the first time tracked a fast radio burst back to its source: a common kind of lightweight star called a red dwarf.
