Astronomers Discover Double the Repeating Fast Radio Bursts
Scientists from MIT Kavli Institute and others have doubled the known repeating Fast Radio Burst (FRB) sources to 50, using advanced statistical tools and CHIME. The study suggests that all FRBs may eventually repeat, with differing burst durations and frequency ranges, indicating different origins. The Canadian-led CHIME has been instrumental in detecting thousands of FRBs as it scans the entire northern sky. The team also concluded that all FRBs may eventually repeat, aiding in understanding explosive stellar deaths and their aftermaths.
