A Chinese fast telescope captures strange signals from space

Chinese astronomers have discovered rapid repetitive radio explosions (FRPs) (strange signals coming from a source located three billion light-years away from Earth), by the largest and most sensitive radio telescopes in the world. world.

Researchers at the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said the scientists were able to trace the signals with a 500 meter wide Chinese dome telescope, and examine and handle them carefully.

The explosions of PRF are called glamorous explosions in the universe. They are said to be "fast" because of the intensity of their short flashes that take only a few milliseconds, but there is no reasonable explanation for their origin.

The researchers said that tracking repeated explosions could help shed light on the source and physical mechanisms of FRP signals.

Chinese scientists inserted extremely sensitive FRP rays assembled into 19 giant telescope giant receivers and used them to monitor the FRP source, called FRP 121102, which was discovered by the Arecibo observatory in 2015 .

The researchers added that the "FRP" capacity collection system captured very effective pulses in real time and could be monitored in parallel with most monitoring tasks. It will play an important role in the discovery of new FRPs, improving positioning accuracy and capturing the high-definition absorption paths generated by FRPs in real time.
