Researchers identify neutron stars as sources of fast radio bursts
An international team of researchers, led by McGill University scientists, has confirmed a key link between fast radio bursts (FRBs) and neutron stars - extremely dense remnants of massive stars that explode as supernovae. This milestone discovery, derived from a detailed analysis of a single FRB, sheds light on the enigmatic radio flashes that have puzzled astronomers for over a decade. "
