The unusual tails of a pulsar give a clue as to what type of pulse it generates
...of these objects are only seen to emit pulses of radio waves, while others only emit pulses of high energy gamma rays and... rotate and usually, this radiation is confined to either radio waves or gamma-rays with some objects showing only one type of...

First-ever image of cool gas disk surrounding Milky Way's black hole
...in this nebulous ring of material give off radio waves - millimetre wavelength radiation that occurs when the atoms ...; the blue color represents gas moving toward Earth, so the radio waves are slightly scrunched, or shifted, to the “bluer” portion of ...

Is the Milky Way's black hole waking up?
... nearest one to us, it has been extensively studied across many wavelengths of light, from gamma waves down to radio waves. In fact it was a beam of radio wave emission in 1931 that first drew astronomers attention to the invisible void that sits...

First results from InSight reveal a seismically active Mars
... atmospheric- or lander-induced vibrations. Of these bonafide marsquakes, 150 are small-magnitude, high-frequency events with waves trapped in the crust, while 24 belong to low-frequency rumblings of magnitude 3–4 rattling about below the crust with...

Spacecraft and telescopes join forces to probe deep into Jupiter's atmosphere
...Jupiter's lightning bolts act like radio transmitters, sending out radio waves as well as visible light when they flash across the ... the planet's atmosphere by detecting high-frequency radio waves that can penetrate through the thick cloud layers. The...

Plasma Crystals - from space research to medicine on Earth and back to space again
..., producing co-operative phenomena, phase transitions such as melting and crystallisation, phase separation, highly resolved wave phenomena, shock waves etc - they also had the possibility to study these processes down to the smallest relevant time...
