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.
Lorimer says his team next plans to reexamine the Parkes data, as well as other archives of radio signals, to see if similar bursts turn up.
The nearly 100 percent polarization of the radio bursts is unusual, and has only been seen in radio emissions from the extreme magnetic environments around massive black holes, such as those at the centers of galaxies.
The repeating bursts from this object, named FRB 121102 after the date of the initial burst, allowed astronomers to watch for it using the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), a multi-antenna radio telescope system with the resolving power, or ability to see fine detail, needed to precisely determine the object's location in the sky.
They also plan to keep monitoring the steady radio emission from the vicinity of the Spitler burst to see if its properties change in time, as expected based on that theory.
They hope to localize more bursts to see whether they usually live in dwarf irregular galaxies, and whether they all appear alongside steady radio sources, both of which would support the newborn - magnetar theory.

The school is bursting with innovation — housing its library in a double decker London bus, broadcasting a weekly radio show and developing a system of learning that sees children working independently assessing their own learning and publishing to a world - wide audience.
