US EditionStrange Space Object Emits Radio Waves Every 44 Minutes
- Astronomers from ICRAR and international teams discovered ASKAP J1832-0911, a space object emitting radio and X-ray pulses every 44 minutes from Australia in 2022.
- The discovery was made by the team utilizing the ASKAP radio telescope located in Wajarri Country, Australia, in conjunction with X-ray data from NASA's Chandra Observatory, which happened to be observing that same region of the sky.
- ASKAP J1832-0911 emits two-minute pulses of radio waves and X-rays, marking the first detection of long-period transients in X-rays, a phenomenon still unexplained.
- Dr. Ziteng Wang described the object as "unlike anything we have seen before" and suggested it could be a magnetar or a binary including a magnetized white dwarf, but theories remain incomplete.
- The discovery could lead to new physics or stellar evolution models, and detecting both X-ray and radio emissions may help identify more such objects and clarify their nature.
