MIT astronomers pinned down the origins of at least one fast radio burst, a brief and brilliant explosion of radio waves emitted by an extremely compact object. The team’s novel technique might also reveal the sources of other FRBs.
These university press releases can sometimes be awful and full of hype/fluff, but this one is pretty good. It sufficiently explains the work without oversimplifying. Very cool to see we’ve narrowed the likely source of FRBs!
