Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are microsecond-millisecond flashes of radio waves that are detectable over extragalactic distances; some FRB sources repeat....
Observing magnetic star-planet interactions offers promise for determining the magnetic fields of exoplanets. Models of star-planet interactions predict...
Astronomers have provided vital information in the global effort to understand GRB 221009A, one of the nearest and possibly the most-energetic gamma-ray...
The radar properties of icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn commonly differ by more than an order of magnitude from those of rocky planets because of...
3C 297 is located about 9.2 billion light-years away in the constellation of Virgo and contains a quasar, a supermassive black hole pulling in gas at the...
Magnetars are a special subset of the isolated neutron star family, with X-ray and radio emission mainly powered by the decay of their immense magnetic...
Using archival data from the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, astronomers have captured a radio signal at a specific wavelength known as the 21 cm line...
Using the ASKAP and Parkes radio telescopes in Australia, astronomers have observed a large section of the Galactic plane of the Milky Way.
A part of the...
The new technology, developed by researchers at the University of Central Florida, can reduce the electronic industry’s reliance on batteries and broaden...
Astronomers using the 40-m radio telescope at Yebes Observatory have detected two new complex molecules, butadiynethionyl (HCCCCS) and ethynylbutatrienyliden...
Penn State astronomers Macy Huston and Jason Wright work on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). They try to characterize and detect technosignatures...
Tracking a pet’s location and activity indoors is of interest to pet owners who want to feel connected to their pet as well as of interest to pet owners...
A fast radio burst (FRB) dubbed FRB 20191221A persists for up to three seconds, about 1,000 times longer than the average FRB; within this window, astronomers...
FRB 190520 is only the second example of a repeating fast radio burst with a compact source of persistent radio emission between bursts.
An artist’s...
Using archival and new data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have imaged 3C 273, a radio-loud quasar located some...
Radio-emitting neutron stars are objects with spin periods ranging from milliseconds to tens of seconds; as they age and spin more slowly, their radio...
For over 70 years, astronomers have been scanning for radio or optical signals from other civilizations in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence...
PSR J0523-7125, a highly circularly polarized, variable, steep-spectrum pulsar located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is the brightest extragalactic pulsar...
