Using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, an international team of astronomers has detected 26 new Galactic radio transients. Most of them turned out to be rotating radio transients (RRATs). The ...

A cosmic object with the slowest-ever known rotation has been detected by Australian radio astronomers. The discovery may ...

Most pulsars, the faster-spinning cousins of ASKAP J1839-0756, are like one-sided flashlights. The axis they spin around is closely aligned to the axis of their magnetic field, which means we only see ...

A group of astronomers has discovered 8 millisecond pulsars located within the dense clusters of stars, known as “globular clusters'', using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope. Millisecond pulsars ...

The CRACO radio telescope system processes a massive amount of data in real-time, so it can detect fast radio bursts and ...

The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

In the case of radio-emitting neutron stars, such objects are known as pulsars if they appear to flash or pulse as their magnetic axis sweeps across the line of sight to an observer. RRATs are a ...

In the 1960s, important astronomical discoveries such as pulsars and cosmic microwave background radiation were made with the help of radio telescopes. The Shanghai Astronomical Observatory ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A cosmic object, ASKAP J1839-0756, challenges current understanding of neutron stars by emitting radio pulses every 6.5 hours, far slower than typical pulsars ...
