«It's the first time a fast
radio burst has been used to conduct a cosmological measurement.»
The object, identified as FRB 121102, is located in a dwarf galaxy some three billion light years from Earth and was first detected giving off a fast
radio burst back in November 2012, according to New Scientist.
A study revealed last week a team of scientists discovered a Fast
Radio Burst that is unusual even by the standards used to judge FRBs.

radio burst is even odder than previously thought.

With a signal - to - noise ratio of 411, that event was the brightest fast
radio burst detected so far by quite a wide margin.

«It looks like the fast
radio burst came out to play today,» Casey Law, the researcher monitoring the VLA in real time, wrote in an email to the rest of the team.
For the first time, astronomers pinpointed the location of a fast
radio burst (FRB), which is a phenomena where a very strong burst of radio emission occurs.
Also, astronomers familiar with the signal are considering the possibility of a microlensing event — a distant radio source may have been momentarily amplified by HD164595 through the warping of spacetime, creating a cosmic lens, making the radio signal look like a suspect
radio burst.
Observing a fast
radio burst in conjunction with neutrinos would be a coup, helping establish source objects for both types of phenomena.
But then two years ago, astronomers spotted a fast
radio burst (FRB) that repeats, a phenomenon that can't be explained by a one - off event.
For the first time, astronomers have pinpointed the location in the sky of a Fast
Radio Burst, allowing them to determine the distance and home galaxy of one of these mysterious pulses of radio waves.

For the first time, astronomers have pinpointed the location in the sky of a Fast
Radio Burst (FRB), allowing them to determine the distance and home galaxy of one of these mysterious pulses of radio waves.
«This impressive result shows the power of several telescopes working in concert — first detecting
the radio burst and then precisely locating and beginning to characterize the emitting source,» said Phil Puxley, a program director at the National Science Foundation that funds the VLA, VLBA, Gemini and Arecibo observatories.

«A repeating fast
radio burst from an extreme environment: Extragalactic source of radio - wave flashes resides in a powerfully magnetized astrophysical region.»
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.
Reporting online today in Science, the researchers say they think only two phenomena could be behind
the radio burst they discovered: the merger of two neutron stars or the final evaporation of a black hole.
NASA astrophysicist Valerie Connaughton of the University of Alabama, Huntsville, isn't sure either hypothesis will hold up, because
no radio burst has ever been associated with either phenomenon.
While the link between the fast
radio burst and a specific galaxy has vanished, the astronomers remain optimistic for future studies.
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.
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.
That means it can't be associated with the fast
radio burst.»
«Fast
radio burst «afterglow» was actually a flickering black hole.»
The origin of a fast
radio burst in this type of dwarf galaxy suggests a connection to other energetic events that occur in similar dwarf galaxies, said co-author and UC Berkeley astronomer Casey Law, who led development of the data - acquisition system and created the analysis software to search for rapid, one - off bursts.

TWISTS AND TURNS The twisted waves from a distant fast

If each of the neutron stars produces
a radio burst every few months, perhaps after absorbing interstellar gas, the close ones would be detected at the rate observed, the team calculates.
Lorimer and Narkovic had uncovered the first fast
radio burst, or FRB.
Astronomers call these powerful flashes Fast
Radio Bursts (FRBs).
«When more - powerful detectors provide us with more observations,» Mészáros said, «we also will be able to use Fast
Radio Bursts as a probe of their host galaxies, of the space between galaxies, of the cosmic - web structure of the universe, and as a test of fundamental physics.»
Until now, only about a dozen Fast
Radio Bursts have been detected on Earth.
Fast
radio bursts, or FRBs, are mysterious flashes of radio waves originating outside our Milky Way galaxy.
