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. Conducted ...

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.

People who enjoy radio are constantly struggling to find a place to erect a bigger and better antenna. Of course it’s a different story and the most hardcore end of the spectrum: radio astronomers.

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.

Radio astronomy uses radio antennas, rather than mirrors and cameras, to detect radio emission from astronomical objects. Many things in the Universe emit radio waves, including stars, planets, ...

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” ...

Jiang Peng, NPC deputy and the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) project chief engineer After earning his PhD in 2009, Jiang Peng, now 47, joined the team behind the ...
