Cosmic coincidence could help explain fast radio burst mystery

Astronomers have been on the hunt for the origins of Furbies. No, not the eerie little toy creatures, but Fast Radio Bursts, or FRBs (often pronounced “fur-bees”). These FRBs are mysterious pulses of radio waves coming from space, and what exactly causes them is yet to be determined.

New observations suggest that fast radio bursts may actually be linked to another hot topic in astronomy: Neutron star mergers, the collision of the leftover cores from two massive stars that produce ripples in space time known as gravitational waves.
