Unexplained Radio Waves Discovered Coming In Clusters From Deep Space
Mysterious and powerful radio waves from deep space are coming in clusters, scientists revealed on Wednesday, having only discovered their existence a decade ago.
The repeated pulses emanate from well beyond the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy, according to a study published in the journal Nature. It was previously thought that these so-called fast radio bursts (FRBs) — which can emit as much energy in a millisecond as the Sun emits in 10,000 years — were one-off phenomena.
But none of these scenarios are consistent with multiple pulses, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to interpret the new data.
Peter Scholz, a graduate student at the McGill Space Institute at McGill University in Montreal and a co-author of the paper, discovered evidence of the bursts in November while sifting through data gathered by the Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico.
“I knew immediately that the discovery would be extremely important in the study of FRBs,” Scholz said in a statement.
The telescope, the largest of its kind, had picked up a total of 10 radio wave pulses, all grouped within the space of a minute.
“Not only did these bursts repeat, but their brightness and spectra also differ from those of other FRBs,” said Laura Spitler, lead author and a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany.
The latest findings appear to be at odds with research published only last week in Nature that concluded that FRBs are generated by one-off cataclysms.
But it is now thought that there could be two or more sources for frequent radio bursts.
The researchers speculated that multiple pulses could come from an “exotic object” such as a hugely powerful, rotating neutron star.
Locating the galaxy from which the serial burst came would be “critical to understanding its properties,” said Jason Hessels, a co-author of the study and a professor at the University of Amsterdam.
Pinpointing the source could also tell astronomers how long it took for the waves to reach Earth, a voyage likely measured in billions of light years. Comparing theoretical travel time in a vacuum with actual travel time could shed light on the distribution of matter in the universe. source
