Evidence
Evidence for Fast Radio Bursts & Unexpected Cosmic Phenomena
Hundreds of FRBs have been detected, many localized to host galaxies with varied environments. Hubble and radio interferometers constrain host populations, while Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 produced a powerful radio burst resembling extragalactic FRBs.
Evidence behind this section3 claims
Fast radio bursts are millisecond-duration extragalactic radio flashes with enormous inferred brightness.
