First fast radio burst traced to old, dead, elliptical galaxy

The source of the unsolved radio signal coming from the depths of space has been discovered. It was determined that the signal detected in February 2024 came from a galaxy that is 11.3 billion years old and 2 billion light-years away from Earth.

Mysterious signal from old galaxy

Rome, 21 January 2025 — A fast radio flash has been traced on the outskirts of an ancient dead elliptical galaxy: an unprecedented home for a phenomenon hitherto associated with star formation centers. Its name is Frb 20240209A. Scientists from Northwestern University and McGill University described this curious result in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, who published two articles to publicize their findings. “These results - the authors comme…

First fast radio burst discovered in a dead galaxy. Its name is Frb 20240209A

For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much younger galaxies.

Surprising fast radio burst detected in ancient “dead” galaxy

For the first time, astronomers have detected a radio burst from an almost "dead" galaxy. The discovery contradicts previous theories and raises new questions.

Erstmals haben Astronomen einen Radioblitz aus einer nahezu »toten« Galaxie nachgewiesen. Die Entdeckung widerspricht bisherigen Theorien und wirft neue Fragen auf.

Astronomy: Mysterious radio flash discovered from dead galaxy

A FRB (Fast Radio Burst or Rapid Radio Ráfaga) is a sudden and unpredictable radio pulse of unknown origin that only lasts a few milliseconds, but that is able to release, in that short time, the same amount of energy that the Sun emits in a whole year. Its very short duration makes the FRB very difficult to detect, something that is only possible if at the fleeting moment when they occur there is some radiotelescope pointing right in that direc…

Un FRB (Fast Radio Burst o Ráfaga Rápida de Radio ) es un súbito e impredecible pulso de radio de origen desconocido que apenas dura unos pocos milisegundos, pero que es capaz de liberar, en ese breve tiempo, la misma cantidad de energía que el Sol emite en todo un año. Su brevísima duración hace que los FRB sean muy difíciles de detectar, algo que solo es posible si en el fugaz momento en que se producen hay algún radiotelescopio apuntando just…

Detectan un poderoso pulso de radio procedente de una galaxia muerta, el lugar menos esperado

They detect a powerful radio pulse coming from a dead galaxy, the least-expected place.

Astronomers previously thought all FRBs were generated by magnetars formed through the explosions of very young, massive stars. But new FRB is pinpointed to the outskirts of 11.3-billion-year-old galaxy without young, active stars -- calling those assumptions into question. 'Just when you think you understand an astrophysical phenomenon, the universe turns around and surprises us,' researcher says.

Astronomers have traced a mysterious fast radio burst to an unexpected place — an ancient, massive galaxy far removed from active star formation. This revelation shakes up the conventional wisdom that such cosmic phenomena exclusively arise from younger, star-rich regions, hinting at the unknown complexities of the universe and sparking a fresh wave of scientific [...]

Mysterious Space Signal Traced Across the Universe to an Ancient Dead Galaxy

While the phenomenon was discovered in 2007, Canadian astronomers have (finally) discovered its origin and pierced "one of the greatest mysteries of astronomy."

These mysterious radio signals from within the galaxy

Researchers believe that the processes that create fast radio bursts may be much more diverse than previously thought.

A kutatók úgy vélik, hogy a gyors rádiókitörések létrehozó folyamatok a véltnél sokkal változatosabbak lehetnek.
