Mysterious signals keep coming from space: Astronomers find their 'Rosetta stone'

Mysterious signals keep coming from space: Astronomers find their 'Rosetta stone' Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A pair of stars spiraling around each other. That's the origin of a new source of repeating radio bursts we've detected, called ASKAP J1745. In recent years, astronomers have been puzzling over mysterious bursts of radio signals, known as long-period transients because of how slowly they repeat.

Mysterious repeating radio signal traced to 'vampire' star that's slowly eating its companion

Mysterious repeating radio signal traced to 'vampire' star that's slowly eating its companion Radio astronomers have decoded a peculiar repeating radio signal from deep space, tracing it to a vampiric binary star system. A pair of spiralling stars could be a blueprint for decoding mysterious bursts of radio energy coming from space, according to new research. Long-period transients have puzzled radio astronomers since they were first detected in 2022.

Scientists locate source of mysterious radio signals after 20 year search: A vampire star and its victim

Scientists locate source of mysterious radio signals after 20 year search: A vampire star and its victim The vampire star is ripping material off that friend. The clashing magnetic fields of a white dwarf star and its neighboring red dwarf star are the source of signals from space that have remained a puzzle for over 20 years, radio astronomers in Australia have found. The signals, or long-period radio transients, are a class of celestial radio emissions discovered in 2005.
