Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most puzzling astronomical phenomena. These brief yet intense bursts of radio waves, ...
A research team led by McGill identifies neutron stars as the likely source of fast radio bursts, one of the universe's most ...
Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance ...
Astronomers have traced a starnge blast of radiowaves that repeats every 2 hours back to a dead star white dwarf magnetically ...
Small stars that are far away tend to be faint and hard to see. De Ruiter and her colleagues used the Multiple Mirror ...
Scientists believe the two stars – a red dwarf and a white dwarf – are in orbit around each other so tightly that their magnetic fields interact with each other. When they bump together, every two ...
Something else had to be instigating it. The pulses differed from fast radio bursts, which are incredibly bright, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves. Almost all FRBs originate from outside ...
