Unusual detection bolsters evidence that the mysterious signals can be caused by different astrophysical events.

Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to ...

Based on what scientists thought they knew about fast radio bursts, referred to in astronomy as FRBs, this type of galaxy should not contain the kind of star long thought to produce such bursts.

An upgrade to one of Australia's most capable radio telescopes is allowing astronomers to hunt for fast radio bursts (FRBs) at 10 times their typical efficiency. By sifting through billions of ...

Researchers utilized a fast radio burst-hunting machine called CHIME, or the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment radio telescope, to uncover both bursts. The instrument has enabled the ...
