New Repeating Fast Radio Bursts Detected From Deep Space Featuring Shriharsh Tendulkar
An exploration of the new group of Fast Radio Bursts or FRBs with Shriharsh Tendulkar of the CHIME team, including only the second repeating FRB ever found located at a distance of 1.5 billion light years. Also discussed are the potential uses for FRBs in exploring and mapping the universe and the potential for many more to be found in the coming years, with some estimates predicting that up to a thousand happen per day.
