April 10, 2025 - The Mystery and History of Fast Radio Bursts - Duncan Lorimer FRS

E-mail Print PDF

 

April 10, 2025 @ 7:30

Fast radio bursts are millisecond-duration pulses of cosmological origin that were discovered at West Virginia University in 2007. They show amazing promise as probes of the large-scale structure of the Universe and provide a new window into the population of compact objects at vast distances. Although much of the details as to their origins remain to be discovered, in this Professor Dunc will attempt to give an account of their discovery and what we have learned in the past eighteen years.
