Fast radio bursts are among the most baffling signals in modern astronomy: flashes of radio energy that last only a few ...
However, for non-repeating FRBs, this question has largely remained unanswered due to the extreme sensitivity required for detection. FRB 20250316A provided an ideal test case. The burst was both ...
An international team of astronomers, including researchers from the Department of Physics at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), has uncovered the first decisive evidence that at least some fast radio ...
Where do fast radio bursts (FRBs) come from and how do they form? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...
Artist’s impression illustrating a binary-origin scenario for fast radio bursts. A magnetised plasma cloud, generated by a coronal mass ejection from the companion star, crosses the line of sight to ...
