Notes and References

  1. The dispersion measure (DM) measures how much dust a radio signal had to pass through, as higher frequencies penetrate dust more quickly than lower frequencies, creating a delayed signal across different radio frequencies.
    If one compares the DM of a radio burst to the amount of known dust in the Milky Way in that direction, as well as the density of dust in intergalactic space, a very rough distance can be inferred.
    In reality, the actual distance is usually shorter, as fast radio bursts appear to originate inside galaxies with their own concentrated dust clouds, dispersing the signal even more and making it appear much further from the Milky Way than it truly is.
