==Features==
Fast radio bursts are bright, unresolved (pointsource-like), broadband (spanning a large range of radio frequencies), millisecond flashes found in parts of the sky. Unlike many radio sources, the signal from a burst is detected in a short period of time with enough strength to stand out from the noise floor. The burst usually appears as a single spike of energy without any change in its strength over time. The bursts last for several milliseconds (thousandths of a second). The bursts come from all over the sky, and are not concentrated on the plane of the Milky Way. Known FRB locations are biased by the parts of the sky that the observatories can image.

Many have [[radio frequencies]] detected around 1400&nbsp;MHz; a few have been detected at lower frequencies in the range of 400–800&nbsp;MHz.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.space.com/42943-fast-radio-burst-repeater-new-discovery.html|title=Scientists Find 13 Mysterious Deep-Space Flashes, Including 2nd Known 'Repeater'|last=Wall|first=Mike |website=Space.com|date=9 January 2019|language=en|access-date=2019-03-03}}</ref> The component frequencies of each burst are delayed by different amounts of time depending on the [[wavelength]]. This delay is described by a value referred to as a [[dispersion measure]] (DM).<ref name=lorimer2007 /> This results in a received signal that sweeps rapidly down in frequency, as longer wavelengths are delayed more.

===Extragalactic origin===
The [[interferometer]] [[UTMOST]] has put a lower limit of 10,000 kilometers for the distance to the FRBs it has detected, supporting the case for an astronomical, rather than terrestrial, origin (because signal sources on Earth are ruled out as being closer than this limit). This limit can be determined from the fact that closer sources would have a curved wave front that could be detected by the multiple antennas of the interferometer.<ref name=Caleb2017>{{Cite journal |arxiv=1703.10173 |last1=Caleb |first1= M.|author1-link=Manisha Caleb |title=The first interferometric detections of Fast Radio Bursts| journal= Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society |volume=468 |issue=3 |page=3746 |last2=Flynn |first2= C. |last3=Bailes |first3=M. |last4=Barr |first4=E.

== Origin hypotheses ==
Because of the isolated nature of the observed phenomenon, the nature of the source remains speculative. {{As of|2022}}, there is no generally accepted single explanation, although a [[magnetar]] has been identified as a possible source. The sources are thought to be a few hundred kilometers or less in size, as the bursts last for only a few milliseconds. [[Causality (physics)|Causation]] is limited by the speed of light, about 300&nbsp;km per millisecond, so if the sources were larger than about 1000&nbsp;km, a complex synchronization mechanism would be required for the bursts to be so short. If the bursts come from cosmological distances, their sources must be very energetic.<ref name="SciAm2013">{{cite journal|url=http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-brilliant-flash-then-nothing-new-fast-radio-bursts-mystify-astronomers/|title=A Brilliant Flash, Then Nothing: New 'Fast Radio Bursts' Mystify Astronomers|journal=[[Scientific American]]|author=Lee Billings|date=9 July 2013}}</ref> Extending the technique of measuring pulsar emission region sizes using a scattering screen in the Milky Way, a method to estimate the transverse FRB emission region size using a scattering screen in the host galaxy was formulated in 2024.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kumar |first1=Pawan |last2=Beniamini |first2=Paz |last3=Gupta |first3=Om |last4=Cordes |first4=James M |title=Constraining the FRB mechanism from scintillation in the host galaxy |journal=Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society |date=1 January 2024 |volume=527 |issue=1 |pages=457–470 |doi=10.1093/mnras/stad3010|doi-access=free |arxiv=2307.15294 }}</ref> Within the same year, a previously recorded burst, FRB 202210122A, was constrained to have an emission region size less than 30,000&nbsp;km, using this technique.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Nimmo |first1=Kenzie |last2=Pleunis |first2=Ziggy |last3=Beniamini |first3=Paz |last4=Kumar |first4=Pawan |last5=Lanman |first5=Adam E. |last6=Li |first6=D.

== Bursts observed ==
=== Naming ===
<!--Each year heading covers bursts that occurred in that year (as used for naming the bursts), even though discovered in data, or published, in a later year. E.g., FRB 180814 comes under 2018, as its name implies.-->  <!-- need to amend for repeating sources -->

Fast radio bursts are named by the date the signal was recorded, as "FRB YYMMDD", with a letter appended to distinguish multiple sources first recorded on the same date.

The name is of the presumed source rather than the burst of radio waves, so repeated or subsequent bursts from the same apparent location (eg, FRB 121102) do not get new date names.

===2007 (Lorimer Burst)===
The first FRB detected, the Lorimer Burst FRB 010724, was discovered in 2007 when [[Duncan Lorimer]] of [[West Virginia University]] assigned his student David Narkevic to look through archival data taken in 2001 by the Parkes radio dish in Australia.<ref name="McKee 2007">{{cite news |last=McKee |first=Maggie |url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn12699-extragalactic-radio-burst-puzzles-astronomers/ |title=Extragalactic radio burst puzzles astronomers |work=New Scientist |date=27 September 2007 |access-date=2015-09-18}}</ref>

On 9 January 2019, astronomers announced the discovery of a second repeating FRB source, named FRB 180814, by CHIME. Six bursts were detected between August and October 2018, "consistent with originating from a single position on the sky".

Because the FRB was nonrepeating, the astronomers had to scan large areas with the 36 telescopes of ASKAP. Once a signal was found, they used the [[Very Large Telescope]], the [[Gemini Observatory]] in Chile, and the [[W. M.
