An international team led by astronomers from the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has discovered a new type of stellar object that challenges our understanding of the physics of neutron stars.Th
Researchers have discovered a new stellar object, potentially an ultra-long period magnetar, that challenges existing understanding of neutron stars. Emitting radio waves every 22 minutes, the longest period ever recorded, this object defies current theories but offers promising insights into neutro
This distant object has been flashing a signal for three decades. It might be a magnetar, a white dwarf — or something entirely new.
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.
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.
