Another type of active galaxy is the radio galaxy, which emits huge amounts
of radio energy.
The array will beam 2.1 megawatts of
radio energy into the ionosphere — the region that starts at 100 kilometers above the ground, where solar photons and charged particles crash into Earth's atmosphere.
We know very little about FRBs in general,» explains Justin Vandenbroucke, a University of Wisconsin — Madison physicist who, with his colleagues, is turning IceCube, the world's most sensitive neutrino telescope, to the task of helping demystify the powerful pulses of
radio energy generated up to billions of light - years from Earth.
As their name suggests, fast radio bursts (or FRBs) are brief yet powerful spurts of
radio energy lasting only a few milliseconds.
Reflected radio energy is then used to construct a 360 - degree model of the passenger and whatever he or she may be carrying.
They
release radio energy in a nearly flat spectrum because of the emission of radiation by charged particles moving spirally at nearly the speed of light in a magnetic field enmeshed in the gaseous remnant.
The pulses are thought to result from lighthouse - like beams of
radio energy shooting from the neutron star's magnetic poles that sweep across the Earth as the star rotates.
Provided with
special radio energy converters automobiles would be silently operated by powerful electric motors.
As the lunar dawn strikes it, it unleashes a massive burst of
radio energy towards Jupiter and goes silent.

At least one source of these bright, brief blasts
of radio energy may be a young neutron star assisted by a nearby massive black hole, new research suggests.
Such tags, costing just a few cents, carry a small, non-powered chip that, when hit by radio waves from a nearby «reader,» converts some of
the radio energy into its own radio pulse in return.
Astronomers see them as steady pulses of
radio energy.
A small antenna flips up to stand proud of the watch face, and transmits pulses of
radio energy.
Six more blasts of
radio energy, each lasting just a few milliseconds, erupted from some phenomenon outside of our galaxy, researchers report in the Dec. 20 Astrophysical Journal.
And with astronomers now on the lookout for the starnge pulses of
radio energy, Vandenbroucke expects the pace of discovery to accelerate as the world's radio telescopes continue their searches and as new radio interferometers come on line.
These intergalactic pulses of
radio energy have defied explanation, but a new theory suggests a technological origin, whereby aliens use these beams to propel their ships through space.
Fast Radio Bursts, also known as FRBs, consist of incredibly brief and intense bursts of
radio energy that seem to originate from remote parts of space.
