Using the CHIME telescope, an international team of astronomers has detected a new repeating fast radio burst (FRBs) source ...

The existence and origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has been a hot topic in astronomy research in recent years. Now that we ...

The CHIME observatory, located in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, consists of four 100-metre-long, semi-cylindrical antennas, which scan the entire northern sky each day. The telescope only ...

"Given the source distance, this is the most luminous radio burst ever detected in our own galaxy," said Daniele Michilli from the team operating the Chime telescope in British Columbia.

this fast radio burst, or FRB, is currently the longest-lasting FRB, with the clearest periodic pattern, detected to date. Pictured is the large radio telescope CHIME that picked up the FRB.

This ability to have such a wide-field view means the telescope can do a lot more and a lot faster. Mandana Amiri, CHIME's project manager, said she's happy about the announcement, as it has come ...
