Astronomers have uncovered 25 new sources of repeating fast radio bursts using data from the CHIME radio telescope. The number of confirmed sources has doubled.
The researchers, including authors at McGill University in Quebec, gathered data, including from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio telescope. Julia Musto is a reporter for Fox News and Fox Business Digital.
To find the new sources of FRBs, they used a new set of statistical tools developed to go over the data CHIME gathered between Sept. 30, 2019, and May 1, 2021.
