The radio waves we see from pulsars have a mysterious glitch – but now we know the ingredients that must be present in the heart of these ultra-dense stellar corpses to give their emissions a hiccup.
Innew research, we have for the first time tracked a fast radio burst back to its source: a common kind of lightweight star called a red dwarf.
Mysterious flashes of radio waves from space might be caused by interstellar asteroids and comets crashing into neutron stars. Astronomers detected the first fast radio burst (FRB) in 2007, and ...
