Penn State University astronomers have discovered that the mysterious «cosmic whistles» known as fast radio bursts can pack a serious punch, in some cases releasing a billion times more energy in gamma - rays than they do in radio waves and rivaling the stellar cataclysms known as supernovae in their explosive power.

Fast radio bursts, which astronomers refer to as FRBs, were first discovered in 2007, and in the years since radio astronomers have detected a few dozen of these events.

In fact, Swift X-ray and optical observations were carried out two days after FRB 131104, thanks to prompt analysis by radio astronomers (who were not aware of the gamma - ray counterpart) and a nimble response from the Swift mission operations team, headquartered at Penn State.
