A cosmic footrace: testing the speed(s) of light with FRBs
General relativity has stood the test of time for over a century. How can we continue to stress-test it using fast radio bursts? Today’s paper does just that!
Bursting the Hubble Trouble Bubble: Measuring H0 with Fast Radio Bursts
Do you like fast radio bursts but hate the Hubble tension? If so, then this paper showing the first measurement of the Hubble constant using FRB observations is for you!
Have We Found the Closest Extragalactic Fast Radio Burst?
A newly-discovered fast radio burst lies in the direction of the galaxy M81. Where does it call home?
FRBs are spiraling out of control
We may have detected a lot of fast radio bursts this year, but the journey to discover where they come from is far from complete!
Focusing Squarely on FRBs with the Square Kilometre Array
The SKA is a proposed next generation radio telescope. How many FRBs could it detect, taking into account both repeating and non-repeating FRBs?
How Can Fast Radio Bursts be Produced in Binary Neutron Star Systems?
Fast radio bursts have unknown origins, but today’s guest post discusses one possibility: interacting BNS systems.
