Dr. Duncan Lorimer
Fast Radio Bursts — A Cosmic Detective Story
Ever since their discovery as a new astronomical phenomenon in 2007, fast radio bursts (FRBs) have captivated the interest of researchers and the public. In just a few milliseconds, FRBs release more energy than the Sun does in a month; enough energy for them to be seen billions of light years away. In this talk, I describe the discovery of FRBs, what they might be, and how they are being used to probe the large-scale structure of the Universe.
