The largest radio telescope FAST detects 90% circular polarization and rapidly changing linear polarization in the bursts of a fast radio burst (FRB) repeater, imposing new constraint on radiative ...
Highly magnetic neutron star is wandering our Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have tracked a rare and fast-moving magnetar – called SGR 0501+4516 – as it speeds ...
Researchers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered the magnetar called SGR 0501+4516 is traversing our galaxy ...
A mysterious radio signal from outer space has been traced back to a dead star - 30,000 lights years from Earth. It lasted only a millisecond - but generated more energy than Earth's sun does in a ...
Solar flares accelerate energetic electrons that escape into interplanetary space, guided by the Parker spiral magnetic field ...
Astronomers have tracked a mysterious magnetar, SGR 0501+4516, across the Milky Way, revealing it may not have formed in a ...
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope observed a roaming magnetar of a different origin, indicating the possibility of understanding ...
Then there are fast radio bursts (FRBs), strange, milliseconds-long signals also thought to come from neutron stars — perhaps acting with companions of their own. “More speculatively ...
