A team of astronomers associated with Australia's Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope announced Monday the discovery of three
new Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)-- intense bursts of radio emission lasting mere milliseconds.

«If you have young magnetars that have just been born in supernova explosions, only a few decades old, they could be very bursty objects, have very violent youths, and that could give rise to repeating
fast radio bursts,» says astronomer Brian Metzger of Columbia University, who was not involved in the
new study.

radio emission believed to be an afterglow actually originated from a distant galaxy's core and was unassociated with the
fast radio burst.
