Using the Very Large Array (VLA), astronomers have performed radio observations of a galaxy cluster Abell 2744, nicknamed ...

Guided by fast radio bursts, astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics have mapped how ordinary matter is distributed in the ...

LOFAR detects a faint radio 'mini-halo' from 3.8 billion years ago, revealing how galaxy clusters evolved in the early ...

The 21-centimeter signal is a distinct wavelength of radiation that burst right after the Big Bang and could be key to the ...

An ancient radio signal generated a soon after the Big Bang, may be the key to understanding the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of ...

Of the 69 FRBs used by the team, 39 were discovered by a network of 110 radio telescopes located at Caltech's Owen Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) called the Deep Synoptic Array (DSA). The DSA was ...

When radio waves travel as fast radio bursts toward Earth, their light can be measured in different wavelengths that spread out. How much the light spreads out is dependent on how much matter is in ...

It must be impulsive, short, and at radio wavelengths.” The team was able to use the dispersion of light to map and measure matter along the pathway of the fast radio bursts.

Flashing lights lead the way More than a thousand fast radio bursts, or FRBs, have been detected since their discovery in 2007. Only about 100 have been traced back to galaxies, according to the ...

Astronomers have used mysterious fast radio bursts, or millisecond-long bright flashes of radio waves from space, to help them track down some of the missing matter in the universe.
