Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are puzzling phenomena because their details are so difficult to resolve. Astronomers added another piece to the puzzle with the detection of an FRB that seems to originate in a dead galaxy.
A recent study examines the discovery of what astronomers are dubbing "ultra-fast radio bursts", a new type of fast radio bursts (FRBs) that the team determined lasts for a mind-boggling ten millionths of a second or less.
In new research, a Canadian-led team of astronomers turned up another 25 repeating FRBs, doubling the number already discovered.
Of the over 1,000 FRBs detected to date, only 29 were identified as repeating. The nature of fast radio bursts is still unknown.
