Astronomers may have found a new class of fast radio burst.
in China in November of the same year. When they did this, the scientists detected something strange about the phenomenon — the object was emitting regular, repetitive bursts of radio waves.Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array
"Now we actually need to explain this double mystery and why FRBs and persistent radio sources are found together sometimes," explained study, a staff scientist in radio astronomy at the California Institute of Technology."Is it common when FRBs are young? Or perhaps the object that makes the bursts is a massive black hole that is messily eating up a neighboring star? Theorists have a lot more detail to work with now and the scope for explanation is shrinking," he added.
It's conceivable, for example, that the radio bursts are caused by distinct processes, or that whatever causes them behaves differently at different phases of development. "For decades, astronomers thought there were basically two kinds of radio source that we could see in other galaxies: accreting supermassive black holes and star formation activity," Law explained."Now we're saying that it can't be an either/or categorization anymore! There is a new kid in town and we should consider that when studying populations of radio sources in the universe," he added.
