CHIME telescope detects more than 500 mysterious fast radio bursts in its first year of operation

Scientists with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) Collaboration, including researchers at the Tata Institute for Fundamental Research (TIFR) and the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA), have assembled the largest collection of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the telescope’s first FRB catalog, which they will present this week at the American Astronomical Society Meeting.
