Fast radio burst, a rolling cosmic dice - EurekAlert


<p>In a paper published in Science Bulletin, a team led by Professor Di Li from NAOC has introduced an novel approach to characterize active Fast Radio Bursts&rsquo; (FRB) behavior in the time-energy phase space. Their method quantifies FRBs&rsquo; randomness and chaos in the context of a slew of representative transient phenomena. FRBs are found to be distinct from earthquakes in that they are more random, but less chaotic, akin to Brownian motions. FRBs&rsquo; emission thus seems to result from a combination of multiple mechanisms or locations.</p>
