Observations from 2017 and 2018 by the Event Horizon Telescope have enhanced understanding of the supermassive black hole M87*, focusing on its turbulent accretion flow.

"A few years ago, the M81 FRB was surprisingly discovered within a dense cluster of stars called a globular cluster," Fong said. "That event single-handedly halted the conventional train of ...

With this new precision, optical telescopes can pivot to identify the type of star groups -- globular clusters, spiral galaxies -- that produce the bursts and hopefully identify the stellar source.
