INPHEDIA.com - Some astronomy researchers reveal a mysterious series of signals from outer space. Among the 13 radiant fast radios, also known as fast radio bursts (FRB), there are repeated signals from the same source within 1.5 billion light years from Earth detected by a telescope in Canada.
Regarding exactly what the beam is and why it happened, until now not yet known. In fact, a similar phenomenon was reported to have happened once by a different telescope.
"Because we know that there is one more case indicating that there are many other cases," said Ingrid Stairs, an astrophysics researcher from the University of British Columbia (UBC).
"With so many repeated cases and additional sources that can be studied, we will be able to understand this cosmic puzzle, where it came from and what causes it," he added.
The CHIME observation center, located in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada, consists of four 100-meter semi-cylindrical antennas, which can scan northern hemisphere daily.
When the telescope was functioning it detected 13 radio beams, including one similar case. The research has now been published in the scientific journal, Nature. "We have found a similar case and the character is very similar to the first case," said Shriharsh Tendulkar from McGill University, Canada.
"This gives us more information about its character as a population."
FRB is a radiant shortwave radio and light that seems to come from deep space. So far scientists have examined 60 single FRBs and two repetitive FRBs. They believe there are thousands of FRBs in the sky every day.
Related to this, a number of theories attempt to explain the cause. One theory calls the neutron star with a very strong magnetic field and rotates very fast.
Others, call it two neutron stars, fused. In fact, even further there are a handful of observers who speculate that the FRB series is a sign of spaceships. (SBB.IN/ENG/*)
