Cellular automata may be *crust* what we need to understand the properties of magnetars.
We sit down with Professor Vicky Kaspi and Dr. Paul Scholz, plenary speakers at #AAS240, to hear about their work studying fast radio bursts with the CHIME telescope!
Today’s authors find a new radio source with a rotational period of 18 minutes right in our own backyard! Read on to hear more about what this exciting source might be.
How do neutron stars acquire such strong magnetic fields? Why do these fields differ between pulsars and magnetars? Today’s paper suggests that *convective dynamos* may be at play.
Today’s authors discover a fast radio burst coincident with a persistent radio source! Read on to learn why it’s cool and what it means.
