RADIO ASTRONOMY

Scientists using a Western Australian radio telescope say they’ve significantly increased their detections of fast radio bursts.

Researchers used machine learning to discover 72 new fast radio bursts from a mysterious source 3 billion light years from Earth. Geek.com reports that in radio astronomy, fast radio bursts are high-energy astrophysical phenomenon of unknown origin; the bright pulses of radio emission last mere milliseconds and are thought to originate from distant galaxies. Their source, however, remains unclear. But Breakthrough Listen, a SETI project led by the University of California, Berkeley, hopes AI can help clarify. according to Andrew Siemion, director of the Berkeley SETI Research Center and principal investigator of Breakthrough Listen, “This work is exciting not just because it helps us understand the dynamic behavior of fast radio bursts in more detail, but also because of the promise it shows for using machine learning to detect signals missed by classical algorithms." https://www.geek.com/tech/ai-detects-more-mysterious-cosmic-radio-bursts-1751925/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

The Square Kilometre Array is an ambitious project to create a gigantic telescope from two enormous arrays of smaller antennas located in South Africa and Australia. The huge collecting area of the SKA will give it unprecedented sensitivity, enabling it to search for faint signals from far away sources. For SETI, it will be able to detect civilizations on other planets orbiting other stars, even if they are no more technologically advanced than our own civilization, and are not deliberately messaging us. In this video, we sit down with some of the scientists and engineers who are spearheading the SKA project, at the SKA headquarters in Jodrell Bank, near Manchester, England.

Astronomers caught the enduring "afterglow" of one of these cataclysmic explosions with both ALMA and the VLA for the first time. The rebound, or reverse shock, triggered by the GRB’s powerful jets slamming into surrounding debris, lasted thousands of times longer than expected, giving astronomers an unprecedented glimpse into the structure and dynamics of the jets.

It started in 2001, a brilliant burst of light breached the skies. The event had released as much power as 500 million suns. Just a few milliseconds later, the signal had vanished. Astronomers call these powerful flashes Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). Since 2001, about 30 have been identified. But, new estimates suggest one is happening almost every second. According to Dr. Avi Loeb, professor of science at Harvard University, "In the time it takes you to drink a cup of coffee, hundreds of FRBs may have gone off somewhere in the universe." The origins of FRBs continue to elude explanation. But there's one source unlike any other that may hold the key to solving the mystery. It's called FRB 121102. It's the only known FRB that repeats. Astronomers have observed over 150 flashes from FRB 121102. Its repeated signals suggest FRBs aren't from a single explosion. Rather, they could be from an unusual object called a magnetar. Magnetars are highly-dense stars with powerful magnetic fields. Whatever the reason, FRBs are proof there's still so much more to learn about our universe.

THE COSMOS — A group known as Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligences, or METI, will in 2018 attempt to message alien life. According to CNET, most concur the message should consist of physics and math as these are forms of knowledge aliens likely hold in common with humanity. However, many scientists, including Stephen Hawking, worry that such a message could put Earth in danger. Previous attempts to communicate with alien civilizations have included sending out the formula for alcohol, and Craigslist advertisements, reported CNET. ----------------------------------------­--------------------- Go to https://www.patreon.com/tomonews and become a Patron now TomoNews is now on Patreon and we've got some cool perks for our hardcore fans.

Professor Michael Garrett is director of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics in Manchester, England. Berkeley SETI Research Center sat down with him in May 2017 to talk about his research, including his involvement in SETI, and what it's like to be in charge of the world's third-largest steerable telescope. On May 31, the Breakthrough Initiatives announced a formal partnership with Jodrell Bank. BSRC is delighted to continue and strengthen collaboration with our friends and colleagues in Manchester.

What's really out there? China is helping us find out. On September 2016, China unveiled the world's largest radio telescope, and has started test operations searching for signals to understand the origins of the universe and the Big Bang. This 500 metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, has been constructed over 5 years in a 45 million year old crater in Southern China. The remote location is highly unlikely location to be affected by flooding, and far from human interference which may affect the telescope's readings. The 500m dish surpasses Arecibo radio telescope, leaving it in second place as the Chinese telescope is 3 times more sensitive in detecting radio waves thousands of light years away.

What’s actually happening is that you’re tagging along as I learn more and more about new and cool things happening in the Universe. I dig into them like a badger hiding a cow carcass, and we all get to enjoy the cache of knowledge I uncover. Okay, that analogy got a little weird. Anyway, my point is. Squirrel! Fast radio bursts are the new cosmic whatzits confusing and baffling astronomers, and now we get to take a front seat and watch them move through all stages of process of discovery. Stage 1: A strange new anomaly is discovered that doesn’t fit any current model of the cosmos. For example, strange Boyajian’s Star. You know, that star that probably doesn’t have an alien megastructure orbiting around it, but astronomers can’t rule that out just yet? Stage 2: Astronomers struggle to find other examples of this thing. They pitch ideas for new missions and scientific instruments. No idea is too crazy, until it’s proven to be too crazy. Examples include dark matter, dark energy, and that idea that we’re living in a Stage 3: Astronomers develop a model for the thing, find evidence that matches their predictions, and vast majority of the astronomical community comes to a consensus on what this thing is. Like quasars and gamma ray bursts. YouTuber’s make their videos. Textbooks are updated. Balance is restored. Today we’re going to talk about Fast Radio Bursts. They just moved from Stage 1 to Stage 2. Let’s dig in. Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, or “Furbys” were first detected in 2007 by the astronomer Duncan Lorimer from West Virginia University. He was looking through an archive of pulsar observations. Pulsars, of course, are newly formed neutron stars, the remnants left over from supernova explosions. They spin rapidly, blasting out twin beams of radiation. Some can spin hundreds of times a second, so precisely you could set your watch to them. In this data, Lorimer made a “that’s funny” observation, when he noticed one blast of radio waves that squealed for 5 milliseconds and then it was gone. It didn’t match any other observation or prediction of what should be out there, so astronomers set out to find more of them. Over the last 10 years, astronomers have found about 25 more examples of Fast Radio Bursts. Each one only lasts a few milliseconds, and then fades away forever. A one time event that can appear anywhere in the sky and only last for a couple milliseconds and never repeats is not an astronomer’s favorite target of study. Actually, one FRB has been found to repeat, maybe. The question, of course, is “what are they?”. And the answer, right now is, “astronomers have no idea.” In fact, until very recently, astronomers weren’t ever certain they were coming from space at all. We’re surrounded by radio signals all the time, so a terrestrial source of fast radio bursts seems totally logical. About a week ago, astronomers from Australia announced that FRBs are definitely coming from outside the Earth. They used the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (or MOST) in Canberra to gather data on a large patch of sky. Then they sifted through 1,000 terabytes of data and found just 3 fast radio bursts. Three. Since MOST is farsighted and can’t perceive any radio signals closer than 10,000 km away, the signals had to be coming outside planet Earth. They were “extraterrestrial” in origin. Right now, fast radio bursts are infuriating to astronomers. They don’t seem to match up with any other events we can see. They’re not the afterglow of a supernova, or tied in some way to gamma ray bursts. In order to really figure out what’s going on, astronomers need new tools, and there’s a perfect instrument coming. Astronomers are building a new telescope called the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (or CHIME), which is under construction near the town of Penticton in my own British Columbia.

The Event Horizon Telescope will take images of the black hole at the centre of our galaxy, and could reveal how relativity and quantum mechanics mesh. Read more: http://ow.ly/qVJ730aCrsE

Astronomers say Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are actually coming from space, according to a new report set to appear in the "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"

This video is about Allen Telescope Array Feb 04, 2017

The search for answers as to whether we are alone in the universe just got a big boost from China. The FAST radio telescope in Guizhou, China is joining forces with U.S. researchers to comb the stars and the planets.CGTN’s Mark Niu reports.

Ever curious how they move large telescopes? Find out.

In 2001, a radio telescope detected a very short and strange signal. It seems to come from a very distant galaxy. It was the first 'Fast Radio Burst' (FRB) observed, a mysterious signal that can teach us invaluable information about the content of the Universe. FRBs have been often in the news all around the world, although the information reported by the press has often been misleading. In this video we follow the scientific method to dig into the FRB enigma.

Berkeley SETI Research Center invites applications from current sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduates across the USA for 10-week paid internships in summer 2017. For more information about how to apply, visit https://seti.berkeley.edu/Internship.html

Interview about the Allen Telescope Array and the Hat Creek Radio Observatory. Lynn Fritz hosts a Weekly Radio Program, "Enjoy Exceptional Living," in partnership with Enjoy Magazine and KLXR Radio1230 AM in Redding, California This was a fairly casual interview, like just 2 people talking. If I got any facts incorrect - please comment below so we set the record straight.

Berkeley Chief SETI Scientist Dan Werthimer discusses the possibility of intelligent life in the universe and how Earthlings could detect other civilizations. Dan presents the new $100M Breakthrough Listen project, as well as the [email protected] project, which analyzes data from the world's largest radio telescope using desktop computers and cell phones from millions of volunteers. Dan Werthimer was in the Homebrew Computer Club with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak; everyone in the Homebrew Club became ultra-rich except Dan. Dan is currently chief scientist of [email protected], Breakthrough Listen, and several SETI programs at the University of California, Berkeley. Werthimer also directs the Center for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER), and is associate director of the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC). Werthimer was an associate professor in the engineering and physics departments of San Francisco State University and a visiting professor at Beijing Normal University, the University of St. Charles in Marseille, and Eotvos University in Budapest. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
