Six fast radio burst, sometimes informally called "extraterrestrial signals," the scientists recorded using a radio telescope in Green Bank in West Virkinii and the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. His unusual nickname of the signals received from the fact that their origin remains a mystery to scientists, because what about him, and put forward the most unusual suggestions.
Source six recorded signals, according to experts, is very far from Earth, even on space standards - the distance to it is not less than three billion light-years. The duration of each of the outbreaks was a few milliseconds. In the past, scientists managed to capture only 11 of these signals and how, now the number of recorded outbreaks almost immediately increased by half.
According to the researchers, the fact that six outbreaks were reported almost simultaneously, can to some extent shed light on their nature. In any case, it is unlikely that the pulses can cause a kind of "one-off" event such as a merger of neutron stars, otherwise hardly even two such signal would coincide in time.
Article specialists published in the scientific journal The Astrophysical Journal.
Until now, experts know very little about the fast radio burst, the first of which was a semi-random discovered in February 2007 (post-graduate student David Narkevitch from West Virginia University drew attention to it, analyzing the archives). Some believe that the source of "alien signals" can be neutron stars from outer space - or blitzar magnetars. Other experts admit that these signals are generated within the Milky Way, but are weaker and therefore seem remote. Finally, there is the assumption that the signals are actually generated by certain equipment in the world, and "space" taken because of an error, and features the work of astrophysicists equipment. | mkru
