Do dead stars crash with the light of 500 million suns?

The Hindu

Astrophysicists are trying to wrap their heads around another twist in the story of fast radio bursts – mysterious radio frequency emissions that reach us from distant galaxies. Magnetars rotate slowly compared to other neutron stars, so scientists reasoned that it is the objects’ ultra-strong magnetic energy rather than their rotation that probably produces the emission of FRBs. This was …

Astronomers find new clue about mysterious radio flashes in space

The Hindu

Mysterious emissions of radio light from the far reaches of the universe are the next big thing in modern radio astronomy. An international team of astronomers has now published the results of its exhaustive study on a repeating FRB from a distant galaxy that offers new clues about the origins of these mysterious radio flashes. They include the Very Large …

’Raises more questions than it answers’, Bill Ackman on FRB’s $30 bn rescue plan

Live Mint

Hitting out at the $30 billion rescue package for First Republic Bank, investor Bill Ackman called it an act of spreading the risk of financial contagion to achieve “false sense of confidence”. In his recent tweet, Bill Ackman said the move by the largest US banks to come forward to deposit $30 billion with First Republic “raised more questions than …

Scientists have traced down the source of several mysterious fast radio bursts

Daily Mail

Thanks to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have tracked down the origins of several mysterious fast radio bursts to five distant galaxies. The researchers were able to find the FRBs, thanks to the ultraviolet and near-infrared light spotted by the Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope tracked down the origins of several fast radio bursts to galaxies …

Fast radio burst detected in the Milky Way is repeating, scientists confirm

Firstpost

In April this year, a weaker burst was detected and astronomers tracked it to a unique kind of star called a magnetar some 30,000 light-years away from us. While at first, most FRBs were detected from outside our galaxy, objects within our Milky Way galaxy have also been detected to spit out radio bursts. But this theory was proven wrong …

New findings make fast radio bursts all the more intriguing

Live Mint

Ever since they were discovered more than a decade ago, fast radio bursts, or FRBs—powerful, millisecond-duration radio waves that come from deep space—have kept astrophysicists guessing about their origins. Researchers working with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment and the Survey for Transient Astronomical Radio Emission 2 —two radio telescope arrays—found conclusive evidence of radio bursts emerging from a magnetar …

Another mysterious radio burst in space is repeating a pattern. This one occurs every 157 days

CNN

CNN — For the second timeever, astronomers have detected a pattern in a mysterious fast radio burst coming from space. Now, they have detected a pattern in asecond repeating fast radio burst, known as FRB 121102. The fact that this repeating fast radio burst pattern is at least 10 times longer than the one repeating every 16.4 days shows the …
