Mystery cosmic radio bursts pinpointed
"Since this is the only known repeating burst, it's possible it could represent a completely different phenomenon to other FRBs.
In addition to detecting the bright bursts from FRB 121102, the team's observations also revealed an ongoing, persistent source of weaker radio emission in the same region.
The flashes and the persistent source must be within 100 light-years of each other, and scientists think they are likely to be either the same object or physically associated with one another."
