Record-Breaking Cosmological Burst at Redshift z = 1.016

FRB 20220610A is the most distant and energetic fast radio burst ever recorded. Detected by ASKAP in Western Australia, its extreme dispersion measure (DM = 1458.1 pc cm⁻³) pointed to a deep cosmological origin. Follow-up imaging with ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) localized the burst to a dense group of at least five interacting galaxies 8 billion light-years away.

First Galactic FRB: Direct Magnetar Engine Confirmation

A paradigm-shifting event in transient astrophysics. FRB 200428 was detected by CHIME and STARE2 originating from the active Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 inside the Milky Way (approx. 30,000 light-years away). Simultaneous hard X-ray bursts observed by HXMT, INTEGRAL, and Konus-Wind proved beyond doubt that magnetars are capable of producing FRB-scale coherent radio emissions.

The Original Repeating FRB with Extreme Faraday Magneto-Ionic Medium

FRB 20121102A was the first repeating fast radio burst ever discovered, shattering the theory that all FRBs are cataclysmic one-off events. Localized by the VLA to a low-mass, low-metallicity dwarf galaxy at z = 0.193, it exhibits one of the highest Faraday rotation measures ever observed (|RM| ~ 10^5 rad m⁻²), pointing to an environment near a massive black hole or dense supernova remnant.
