Fast Radio Bursts

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are high-energy astrophysical phenomena characterized by brief, intense bursts of radio waves lasting just milliseconds. First discovered in 2007, FRBs are thought to originate from distant galaxies and their exact causes remain largely unknown, although various theories suggest they could be linked to neutron stars, black holes, or magnetars. The transient nature and unpredictable occurrence of FRBs make them a subject of extensive research in astrophysics. They are detectable by radio telescopes, and their study provides insights into cosmic events, the intergalactic medium, and the fundamental properties of the universe.
