# A Population of Fast Radio Bursts at Cosmological Distances

D. Thornton, B. Stappers, M. Bailes et al., 2013. _Science 341(6141), 53–56_.

Four more millisecond bursts from the Parkes High Time Resolution Universe survey, all far from the Galactic plane, with inferred redshifts of 0.5 to 1. Established FRBs as a celestial population rather than a one-off or interference.
