The catch
with fast radio bursts, notes Vandenbroucke, is that they are mostly random and they last for only a few milliseconds, too fast to routinely detect or conduct follow - up observations with radio and optical telescopes.

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.

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.»
