"We already knew from FRB 121102 that the bursts can be very clustered: sometimes the source doesn't burst for hours and hours and then suddenly you get multiple bursts in a short amount of time. We have observed the same thing for FRB 180916.J0158+65, for which we report 10 bursts in this paper."</p> Fri, 16 Aug 2019 12:31:21 +0000 webfull 151938 at /channels /channels/news/mcgill-launches-centre-space-research-256392 <p>$1 million donation from Trottier Family Foundation to fund ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ Space Institute fellowships Wed, 28 Oct 2015 14:30:10 +0000 webfull 113592 at /channels
