Mysterious fast radio burst traced back to massive 'cosmic graveyard' of ancient stars
75% Informative
FRB 20240209A has been traced back to the "cosmic graveyard" of a massive "dead" galaxy.
The source of this FRB originated from the edge of an 11.3-billion -year-old galaxy.
FRBs are usually attributed to supernova deaths of massive young stars in younger galaxies experiencing bouts of star formation.
This FRB-producing events may be more diverse than previously thought.
Around 100 FRBs have been linked to a galactic host, and most have been connected to a magnetar.
The prevailing theory is that FRBs come from magnetars formed through core-collapse supernovae.
The researchers believe that just like FRB 20200120E , it may have come from a globular cluster.
This is significant because globular clusters are associated with events associated with older stars.
