GMRT Reveals Fast Radio Bursts
Recently, for the first time, astronomers from the Pune-based National Centre of Radio Astrophysics (NCRA-TIFR) and the University of California have used the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) to map the distribution of atomic hydrogen gas from the galaxy hosting a fast radio burst (FRB), revealing important clues on the origin of the burst.
Key Findings
- FRB20180916B: The FRB - FRB20180916B - produces repeated very short bursts, and these have been found to arise in the outskirts of a spiral galaxy just half a billion light years away.
- Merger: The study indicates that the FRB host galaxy has undergone a ....
