Astronomers have detected RBFLOAT, a powerful FRB (Fast Radio Burst) traced to a galaxy in Ursa Major. The signal, twice as intense as previous FRBs, may be linked to a magnetar system. CHIME played a key role.
Astronomers detected an extremely remote FRB (FRB 20240304B) originating from a galaxy 3 billion years post-Big Bang. Studying FRBs helps map ionized gas distribution and star formation in the early universe.
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) help astronomers account for all baryonic matter (normal matter) in the universe, resolving the "missing baryon problem." Intergalactic space holds much of this matter.
