An international team of astronomers has uncovered a new class of radio-emitting celestial object that could redefine what we know about long-period radio transients. In a study published on arXiv, ...

An international team of astronomers report the discovery of a long-period radio transient, which is unusually circularly polarized and showcases an accelerating spin period. The finding of the new ...

Satellites that retire are deorbited into a graveyard orbit within 25 years of their missions ending. This is the case with ...

A powerful and mysterious blast of radio waves that astronomers believed was a fast radio burst (FRB) from far beyond the ...

A second-repeating radio signal, FRB 180814.J0422+73, was found to repeat six times from a distance of 1.5 billion light-years away.

The FRB easily beat the previous record holder, which was from around five billion light years away, he added. The pulse was so powerful that -- in under a millisecond -- it released as much ...

The recently detected FRB sends out bursts during a 90-day window, followed by 67 days of silence, in a loop that repeats every 157 days, the astronomers said.

And that may not require seeing another locally grown FRB; getting a better feel for what's behind their gamma-ray outbursts could help determine how those events could also produce radio bursts ...

Theirs suggests that FRB 20201124A does hail from a magnetar—but not a magnetar alone. As radio waves burst from the magnetar, they pass through the skirt of the star that the magnetar orbits.

Astronomers detected the object, named FRB 190520, when it released a burst of radio waves on May 20, 2019. The researchers used the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, or FAST ...

Maybe FRB 121102 is in a similar environment in its host galaxy," Daniele Michilli, a doctoral candidate at the University of Amsterdam, said in a statement. Alternatively, ...

This rethink was brought about by an FRB first detected last year, which has been traced back to the "cosmic graveyard" of a massive "dead" galaxy filled with ancient stars located 2 billion light ...
