Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most puzzling astronomical phenomena. These brief yet intense bursts of radio waves, ...

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), Chinese astronomers have detected a new ultra-faint ...

A recent study utilizing the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) has confirmed the "radio-quiet" characteristics of four magnetars and one magnetar-like pulsar.

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

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.

After decades of planning, countless hours of work, and more than a few setbacks, an early working version of the telescope ...

New results from the CHIME telescope support the hypothesis that fast radio bursts originate in close proximity to the turbulent magnetosphere of a central engine.

The Odysseus spacecraft made a rough landing on the moon last year, toppling over and rendering much of its equipment unusable, but an onboard NASA radio telescope called ROLSES-1  was able to make so ...

The burst's host galaxy is more than halfway across the observable universe and up to 100 times fainter than other host galaxies. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a ...

Since then, radio telescopes such as the CHIME instrument at our observatory, which have very large fields of view have caught thousands of these events, which have become known as “Fast Radio Bursts” ...
