Latest Achievements
Dr. Regina Jorgenson is helping lead an astronomical study investigating Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)- powerful flashes of radio waves from deep space whose origins are of great interest to astronomers, yet not well understood. The project will support a post-baccalaureate fellow who will use some of the largest telescopes in the world to study the host galaxies of FRBs to better understand both the sources of these cosmic explosions, as well as the intergalactic matter through which the FRB signal travels – essentially giving us a new way to detect and measure previously unseen matter in the universe. Project funding comes from the National Science Foundation.
