Astronomers have detected two more millisecond-duration radio bursts from SGR 1935+2154, a magnetar located over 14,000 light-years away in the constellation of Vulpecula. The detection supports the hypothesis that — at least some — fast radio bursts are emitted by magnetars at cosmological distances.
Mysterious, intense blasts of radio energy have been detected from within our own galaxy, astronomers have said.
First fast radio burst found in our galaxy is traced to magnetar 30,000 light years away
The elusive particles would be hard to catch, but they’d be a smoking gun, researchers say
Most FRBs originate hundreds of millions of light-years away. This one came from inside the Milky Way.
Signal from 500 million light years away is the first periodic pattern of radio bursts detected
The find could be a big clue about the nature of fast radio bursts.
