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...
Astronomers using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) have spotted a mysterious circular ring between the Milky Way’s plane and...
Odd Radio Circles are large, circular astronomical objects which are bright around the edges at radio wavelengths. Theories on what causes these mysterious...
In the second data release from the ongoing LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey, astronomers present radio images covering 27% of the northern...
Saturn is unique among planets observed to date in that some of its aurorae are generated by swirling winds within its atmosphere, and not just from the...
