«A repeating
fast radio burst from an extreme environment: Extragalactic source of radio - wave flashes resides in a powerfully magnetized astrophysical region.»
The observations by the Breakthrough Listen team at UC Berkeley using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia show that
the fast radio bursts from this object, called FRB 121102, are nearly 100 percent linearly polarized, an indication that the source of the bursts is embedded in strong magnetic fields like those around a massive black hole.

fast radio bursts from the HTRU high - latitude survey at Parkes: first evidence of two - component bursts.

Questions remain about whether all
fast radio bursts, including the ones that don't repeat, come
from such exciting neighborhoods.
Fast radio bursts, which flash for just a few milliseconds, created a stir among astronomers because they seemed to be coming
from outside our galaxy, which means they would have to be very powerful to be seen
from Earth, and because none of those first observed were ever seen again.
This detection follows 11 previously recorded outbursts of
radio waves
from the same location, the only known repeater in a class of enigmatic eruptions known as
fast radio bursts.
Last February a team of astronomers reported detecting an afterglow
from a mysterious event called a
fast radio burst, which would pinpoint the precise position of the
burst's origin, a longstanding goal in studies of these mysterious events.
New research by Harvard astronomers Peter Williams and Edo Berger shows that the
radio emission believed to be an afterglow actually originated
from a distant galaxy's core and was unassociated with the
fast radio burst.
Dark matter hitting black holes could be the source of some
fast radio bursts — mysterious blasts of
radio waves that come
from billions of light years away, first detected 10 years ago.
New detections of
radio waves
from a repeating
fast radio burst have revealed an astonishingly potent magnetic field in the source's environment, indicating that it is situated near a massive black hole or within a nebula of unprecedented power.
Because
radio signals travel
faster than particles, the completed e-CALLISTO can also work as an early - warning system for
radio bursts, alerting space mission control centres to upcoming disturbances caused by coronal mass ejections
from the Sun.
The Dutch and Breakthrough Listen teams suggest that the
fast radio bursts may come
from a highly magnetized rotating neutron star — a magnetar — in the vicinity of a massive black hole that is still growing as gas and dust fall into it.
Fast radio bursts are brief, bright pulses of
radio emission
from distant but so far unknown sources, and FRB 121102 is the only one known to repeat: more than 200 high - energy
bursts have been observed coming
from this source, which is located in a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light years
from Earth.
These
fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief, bright pulses of
radio emission
from distant but unknown sources.

from the Netherlands, and she uses Breakthrough Listen data to search for
fast radio bursts, or FRBs.
The phenomena, known as
fast radio bursts or FRBs, were first detected in 2007 by astronomers scouring archival data
from Australia's Parkes Telescope, a 64 - meter diameter dish best known for its role receiving live televison images
from the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969.
