SETI Institute Research Scientist Wael Farah introduces the Art Imaginarium's June 2020 challenge: Fast Radio Bursts! The Art Imaginarium is a Facebook group dedicated to the space where art meets science. Why art? Science and art are more closely connected than people might expect, with each offering new perspectives and insights. We’re building a global artistic community where everyone feels safe in expressing themselves and exploring the limits of their imaginations. We hope that this will be a space where people respect both the art and the science. What is art? We do not want to constrain creativity. Want to write a song? Draw in pencil? Create digital art? Bake a cake? Use pasta and beans? Go for it. Each month, we provide members with a challenge theme. How they interpret that theme is entirely up to them. Join the challenge here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheArtImaginariumbySETI/

A discussion about Fast Radio Bursts or FRBs and the possibility that we have found one within our own galaxy with Shriharsh Tendulkar of the CHIME team. What defines a Fast Radio Burst? And are Magnetars the source of all Fast Radio Bursts? A magnetar with in our own galaxy has put out a signal like a FRB. Want to support the channel?

In 2007, astronomers detected a radio signal from the sky that was unlike any seen before. It lasted only a millisecond but was extremely bright. Even more unexpectedly, its characteristics implied that it arrived from an unidentified galaxy billions of light-years away. This type of explosion, more powerful than anything ever observed at similar wavelengths and timescales, is now termed a Fast Radio Burst (FRB). During the last decades, astronomers have reported the existence of more FRBs, which have become one of the hottest topics in astronomy. They seem to be a common phenomenon; astronomers have detected more than 100 FRBs, and some estimates are that thousands reach Earth every day. However, we still don’t understand what causes these powerful explosions. They are tremendously energetic, and the flashes come from billions of light-years away, and something over there can muster sufficient energy to produce a signal detectable here on Earth. Could these signals be due to aliens?

Recently, this unusual-looking instrument, located in the forested hills of southern British Columbia and known as the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment, added to its list of accomplishments by finding yet another Fast Radio Burst (FRB) source. Many dozen FRBs have been uncovered since the first was found in 2007. But despite this imposing collection, we still don’t know what these strange objects are. Clearly, something taking place in the far depths of the cosmos is burping radio waves into space. The fact that FRBs for which we know the distance are far away – millions or billions of light-years – indicates that whatever they are, they’re pretty rare. Could they be the result of colliding black holes, or neutron star smashups? These were attractive ideas when FRBs were first found because of the large amounts of energy such cosmic head-ons would release. Sadly, they became less appealing once astronomers found FRB’s that burp more than once. Black holes and neutron stars are reluctant to back up and slam into one another again.

Hey all!! This is SUPER DUPER exciting because it is the FIRST time that a Fast Radio Burst traveled through THREE galaxies!!! FRB’s are known for intergalactic traveling but this is the first time one actually traveled through 3 galaxies and passed through the HALO of a galaxy, hence shining light on what’s happening in that halo!!!!! So so exciting !!!

Last month, a consortium of five dozen astronomers reported the discovery of eight new bursts that may lead to an answer. The objects were found with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment, or CHIME. This unusual-looking radio telescope, about the size of a football field, consists of four metal mesh cylinders — like skateboard half-pipes — that collect and focus incoming radio waves. CHIME is in a sparsely populated, mountainous region of British Columbia about 30 miles north of the U.S. border.

In the last decade, we have established the existence of extragalactic fast radio bursts (FRBs) of sub-millisecond durations, likely originating at cosmologically significant distances. Explaining the FRB phenomenon has proved a compelling challenge to theory, with the number of distinct models only this year being superseded by the 65 reported events. The high FRB occurrence rate (comparable to the core-collapse supernova rate), isotropic-equivalent luminosities comparable to the most luminous quasars, the wide range of intrinsic and propagation-induced phenomenology, and the repetition of at least a sub-sample of objects are particularly noteworthy. FRBs have also opened a powerful new window into otherwise unseen matter in the Universe. Observations of large FRB samples will help assess the baryon contents and physical conditions in the hot/diffuse circumgalactic, intracluster, and intergalactic medium, and test extant compact-object dark matter models. I will review the state of the field and its promise for the future.

They're highly energetic bursts of radio waves that last mere milliseconds. And they're totally random. Because of how elusive they are, scientists are still trying to explain this weird phenomena. But thanks to new telescopes like CHIME in Canada, we're getting closer to the solution to this science mystery.

Fast Radio Bursts, or FRBs are blasts of radio energy that hit Earth from outside the milky way galaxy, lasting only milliseconds before they disappear. Dr. Avi Loeb of Harvard University and Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics discusses the possibility that they could be leakage from highly powerful lasers pushing on light sails or other signs of advanced extraterrestrial intelligence. As well as the interstellar object known as Oumuamua and if it is a solar sail or alien probe. Avi Loeb also discusses what are the most dangerous and immediate threats to life on earth from space, asteroid collisions, solar flares including the carrington event, and black holes.
