TL;DR: These repeat bursts with high dispersion measure and variable spectra specifically seen from the direction of FRB 121102 support an origin in a young, highly magnetized, extragalactic neutron star.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The authors' observations are inconsistent with the fast radio burst having a Galactic origin or its source being located within a prominent star-forming galaxy, and the source appears to be co-located with a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus or a previously unknown type of extragalactic source.

TL;DR: In this article, the precise localization of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB 121102) has provided the first unambiguous association (chance coincidence probability p ≲ 3 × 10−4) of an optical and persistent radio counterpart.

TL;DR: In this paper, the precise localization of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB 121102) has provided the first unambiguous association (chance coincidence probability $p\lesssim3\times10^{-4}$) of an optical and persistent radio counterpart.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented FRB 121102, the first FRB discovery from a geographic location other than Parkes, which was found in the Galactic anti-center region in the 1.4?GHz Pulsar Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) survey with a DM = 557.4? 2.0 pc cm?3, pulse width of 3.0? 0.5 ms, and no evidence of interstellar scattering.
