This project aims to utilise fast radio bursts to study observationally the structure of the Universe in an entirely new way, and potentially investigate the era in which the first stars were formed. This project utilises the e-MERLIN and LBA telescopes along with other multi-wavelength facilities in the world to unveil the engines driving fast radio bursts and also pinpoint their host galaxies. The research should result in the use of fast radio bursts as new cosmological probes, complementary to supernovae and galaxies. It also aims to lead to a better understanding of the extragalactic/intergalactic media, and greater public engagement in science by incorporating this phenomenon into a comprehensive public outreach programme.

该项目旨在利用快速的无线电爆发以一种全新的方式在观察上研究宇宙的结构，并有可能研究形成第一颗恒星的时代。该项目利用E-Merlin和LBA望远镜以及世界上其他多波长的设施来揭示发动机驱动快速无线电爆发的引擎，并确定其主机星系。这项研究应导致快速无线电爆发作为新的宇宙学探针，互补与超新星和星系相辅相成。它还旨在通过将这一现象纳入一个全面的公共外展计划，以更好地理解对外层次/播种媒体的理解，并通过将这种现象纳入该现象，从而更多地参与科学。
