Two articles, one published in “The Astrophysical Journal Letters” and one published in “Nature Astronomy”, report various aspects of a research on the fast radio burst FRB 20180916B, whose emissions include the lowest frequencies at which such an event has been detected so far. Two teams of researchers with various members in common used detections obtained with the LOFAR radio telescope and the European VLBI network to study this fast radio burst that is repeating with a periodicity of just over 16 days. Its origin has been pinpointed in a small region around a neutron star.
