−0.10: 5.25 ± 0.09 — FRB 121002.1 [9] [4] 2012-10-02 13:09:18.402: 18 h 15 m: −85° 12′ ...
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.
The burst lasted just 2.5 milliseconds and carried the same brightness of other fast radio bursts. But it was notable because the light released by the burst was highly polarized, meaning that the ...
The recent burst, called FRB 20240209A, throws that theory into question. The flare was first detected in February 2024 with a newer radio telescope called the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping ...
According to a study published in the 9 January 2020 issue of the journal Nature, [1] CHIME astronomers, in cooperation with the radio telescopes at European VLBI Network (VLBI) and the optical telescope Gemini North on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, were able to pinpoint the source of FRB 180916 to a location within a Milky Way-like galaxy named SDSS ...

The gigametre (SI symbol: Gm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 1 000 000 000 meters (10 9 m). To help compare different distances this section lists lengths starting at 10 9 meters (1 gigameter (Gm) or 1 billion meters). 1.2 Gm – separation between Saturn and Titan; 1.39 Gm – diameter of Sun [168] [169]
