Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration pulses of radio emission originating from extragalactic distances. Radio dispersion on each burst is imparted by intervening plasma mostly located in the intergalactic medium. We observe a…

Mysterious Fast Radio Bursts (FRB), still eluding a rational explanation, are astronomical radio flashes with durations of milliseconds. They are thought to be of an extragalactic origin, with luminosities orders of magnitude larger than…
