Long-term observations reveal that at least some fast radio bursts are linked to magnetars orbiting companion stars.

Fast radio bursts, strong pulses of energy detected in radio-wave frequencies, may be a common phenomenon in the cosmos, but their enigmatic origins are something astronomers are only beginning to ...

A repeating fast radio burst has just given up one of its biggest secrets. Long-term observations revealed a rare signal ...

Astronomers have found compelling evidence that at least some fast radio bursts originate from stars in binary systems rather than from isolated objects. An international group of astronomers, ...

New insights are emerging into one of astronomy’s most perplexing signals. An international research team led in part by ...

Pulsars, the rapidly rotating neutron stars discovered over half a century ago, offer profound insights into extreme physics, including strong gravity and the behaviour of matter under extraordinary ...

The James Webb Space Telescope imaged galaxy NGC 4141, where astronomers traced the precise origin of a recent fast radio burst and its potential red giant companion, annotated in the inset as NIR-1.

(CNN) — Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about a millisecond, ...

With their extremely strong magnetic fields, magnetars have long been considered the prime culprit capable of producing the powerful bursts of energy known as fast radio bursts. The recent burst, ...
