New studies reveal the origin of fast radio bursts
..., the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) and the Survey for Transient Astronomical Radio Emission 2 (STARE2), in the US detected an FRB from that sky region and the event became known as FRB 200428. ...

Astronomers spot two merging galaxy clusters bridged by X-rays
... reported so far, only one reported a signature of a merger shock in X-ray data and none provided concrete evidence of radio emission connected with the shocks. Therefore, this seldom observed kind of merger spotted by Akamatsu and team will...

Earth-sized planet behind unusual star signals say astronomers
...the other hand lasts only for seconds or minutes at a time. This latter emission is similar to the type of emission seen in solar radio bursts. So far, most of the radio emission observed from distant stars is high frequency and it comes from a small...

Hunting for neutrinos in the ice of Antarctica
.... In this charge separation, a changing current is created along the shower axis, which leads to an emissions of radio waves. In contrast to light, radio emission travel longer distances through ice before being attenuated which therefore allows for...

The unusual tails of a pulsar give a clue as to what type of pulse it generates
... Earth, conversely B0355+54 as magnetic poles directly facing the Earth. Because the radio emission occurs near the site of the magnetic poles, the radio waves may point along the direction of the jets, she said. Gamma...

An alternative model for pulsars and spiral galaxies
... ‘jet’ of charged particles, at an angle to the axis of rotation, that leads to the radio emission which we observe. The angle between the spin axis and the emission cone is an assumed feature of the model. The central object in a spiral galaxy...
