Were very excited to see what CHIME can do when its running at full capacity, said Deborah Good, a UBC PhD student in physics and astronomy who is working on CHIME. At the end of a year we may have found 1,000 more bursts. Our data will break open some of the mysteries of FRBs.

Radio telescope near Penticton, B.C., opening new doors in astrophysics
Deborah Good, a UBC PhD student working on the project, said unlike a normal radio dish, this radio telescope is made up of four cylinders containing 1,024 antennae that can measure fast, short-lived bursts of light found on the radio wave spectrum called fast radio bursts.
