By scanning the sky with radio telescopes, Hurley and her team located another, similar radio pulse that repeated only once every 2.9 hours – the slowest ever observed so far.
The fast radio burst is the most distant of its kind of ever seen, coming from so far away that it has travelled eight billion years to get to Earth. It is also astonishingly powerful, one of the ...
Lorimer Burst – Observation of the first detected fast radio burst as described by Lorimer in 2006. [1] [failed verification]In radio astronomy, a fast radio burst (FRB) is a transient radio pulse of length ranging from a fraction of a millisecond, for an ultra-fast radio burst, [2] [3] to 3 seconds, [4] caused by some high-energy astrophysical process not yet understood.
PSR B1919+21 is a pulsar with a period of 1.3373 seconds [4] and a pulse width of 0.04 seconds. Discovered by Jocelyn Bell Burnell on 28 November 1967, it is the first discovered radio pulsar. [5]
A new type of stellar object has been discovered releasing energetic bursts of radio waves every 22 minutes.
Explaining their discovery in 2005 of a powerful bursting radio source, NRL astronomer Dr. Joseph Lazio stated: [23] "Amazingly, even though the sky is known to be full of transient objects emitting at X- and gamma-ray wavelengths, very little has been done to look for radio bursts, which are often easier for astronomical objects to produce ...
Astronomers observed a new quirky pattern in a mysterious, repeating fast radio burst detected in space that sounds like a celestial slide whistle.
The VLA is a multi-purpose instrument designed to allow investigations of many astronomical objects, including radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, supernova remnants, gamma-ray bursts, radio-emitting stars, the sun and planets, astrophysical masers, black holes, and the hydrogen gas that constitutes a large portion of the Milky Way galaxy as well ...
