A New Kind of Radio Lighthouse
We’ve known about pulsars for more than fifty years, but what about other kinds of repeating radio sources? Learn how this white dwarf binary might be the first peek into a new class of radio lighthouses!
Probing the radio sky from Antarctica
In today’s bite, we talk about how one can use the Antarctic environment to optimize radio astronomy measurements.
Cosmic Rays and their Observational Signatures
Cosmic rays, born from powerful events like exploding stars, are a key but elusive part of a galaxy’s interstellar medium. Today’s paper combines gamma-ray, X-ray, infrared, and radio observations of M82 to untangle how cosmic rays and magnetic fields shape its energetic core.
