Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Prof. Victoria Kaspi and Dr. Paul Scholz
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!
You’ll be a limbo star. How (s)low can you go?
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.
A New Recipe for Neutron Star Magnetic Fields
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.
Another Mysterious Fast Radio Durst Detected… Are We One Step Closer to Discovering their Origins?
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.
A Fast Radio Burst in a Rather Peculiar Location
Today’s authors study an FRB in the M81 galaxy. Read on for what they find (spoiler: it’s not what we would expect!).
Have We Found the Closest Extragalactic Fast Radio Burst?
A newly-discovered fast radio burst lies in the direction of the galaxy M81. Where does it call home?
