Astronomers found a rare long-period magnetar using MWA, and it turns out it's been observed but not identified over the past 33 years.

In 2018 a doctoral student spotted "a spinning celestial space object," reports CNN. "The unfamiliar object released giant bursts of energy and beamed out radiation three times per hour." But that was just the beginning... In those moments, it became the brightest source of radio waves viewable f...

The science team suspects the stellar object might be a new type of magnetar, but its characteristics defy the most basic understanding of how that type of neutron star operates.

Gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of time-space predicted by Albert Einstein more than a century ago, are permeating the universe at low frequencies, according to a multiyear National Science

Astronomers have detected a long-running source of slow, repeating radio pulses that can’t be explained by current theories – but it’s probably not aliens.

Scientists are baffled by a mysterious object that has been found to be the source of consistent pulses of radio signal that is turning on and off every 22 minutes.

Astronomers have observed a 'slow' magnetar releasing bursts of radio waves every 22 minutes. The strange neutron star could change our perception of these extreme stellar corpses.

Astronomers have discovered a new type of stellar object that could change their understanding of extreme celestial bodies in the universe.

The object, thought to be a magnetar, was found to emit radio waves every 22 minutes, much slower than other magnetars which pulse around once per second.
