The Northern Cross radio telescope has detected dozens of fast radio bursts—millisecond blips of extragalactic radiation. Researchers built INCART, a public archive hosting the raw data and measured properties from these events, designed for long-term storage and reanalysis as detection methods improve. Open access lets other teams cross-check findings and hunt for patterns across the growing FRB census.
