Webb Places the Farthest Fast Radio Burst Inside a Tiny Young Galaxy
On March 4, 2024, a radio array in South Africa caught a flash that lasted only a few milliseconds and then vanished. MeerKAT, working with the MeerTRAP search system, logged it at 00:50 UTC and gave it the name FRB 20240304B. The pulse arrived stretched and delayed by free electrons along the path, with a [...]
Astronomers have identified the FRB 20240304B, the most distant already recorded, with origin in a young galaxy, which can offer new clues about the nature of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). This phenomenon, which manifests itself as brief and intense radio explosions, has intrigued the scientific community since its discovery. What are the FRBs Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are radio explosions that last only milliseconds, but which emit a significant amo…
Webb Telescope Detects Galaxy Origin Of The Farthest Fast Radio Burst We've Seen To Date
And the data it provided sheds light on the origins of fast radio bursts. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, T. Nanayakkara (USYD). Image Processing: J. DePasquale (STScI) Back in 2024, scientists detected the farthest fast radio burst we’ve ever seen to date, thanks to observations by the MeerKAT ground telescope array. Fast radio bursts are
A very short but energy-rich signal from the depths of space employs science. The origin was long unclear until the most modern infrared telescope directed its instruments to the supposed source. read more on t3n.de
Webb Traces 10-Billion-Year-Old Deep Space Signal To Its Source
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (with initial data captured by South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope) have localized the most distant fast radio burst ever recorded: a signal that traveled across space for more than 10 billion years before reaching us. The powerful, millisecond-long pulse of radio waves (designated FRB
