Article Synopsis
  • Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are powerful, brief astrophysical events that have been detected at various frequencies, but lower-frequency emissions have been challenging to observe.
  • One notable FRB, FRB 20180916B, shows a 16.35-day periodicity and emits at frequencies as low as 120 megahertz, with its activity window varying by frequency — narrower and earlier at higher frequencies.
  • The findings indicate that lower-frequency emissions can escape their surrounding medium, suggesting that some FRBs are in environments that don't absorb low-frequency signals, contradicting previous theories about absorption affecting FRB periodicity.

Automatic video tracking has become a standard tool for investigating the social behaviour of insects. The recent integration of computer vision in tracking technologies will probably lead to fully automated behavioural pattern classification within the next few years. However, many current systems rely on offline data analysis and use computationally expensive techniques to track pre-recorded videos.
