Strange Object Is Releasing Regular Blasts of Both X-Rays and Radio Waves

Mysterious object in space ‘unlike anything we have seen before’ is sending out strange signals

The object give off pulses of radio waves and X-rays, and repeats the cycle of X-rays and radio waves every 44 minutes.

Unknown object in Milky Way found emitting both X-rays and radio waves

The celestial body, dubbed ASKAP J1832- 0911, was initially found by astronomers using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), a radio telescope located in Australia. Another look using NASA's Chandra X-Ray telescope found the object also emitted X-rays in an unusual yet predictable pattern.Read Entire Article

Strange Object is Releasing Regular Blasts of Both X-Rays and Radio Waves

Just when astronomers think they're starting to understand stellar activity, something strange grabs their attention. That's the case with a newly discovered stellar object called ASKAP J1832-0911. It lies about 15,000 light-years from Earth and belongs to a class of stellar objects called "long-period radio transients." That means it emits radio waves that vary in their intensity on a schedule of only 44 minutes per cycle. It does the same thin…

Mysterious cosmic object seen flashing in radio waves and X-rays

A team of international astronomers has discovered a mysterious and perplexing cosmic object in our Milky Way galaxy that challenges our current understanding of how stars behave The object, named ASKAP J1832-0911, has been observed emitting powerful bursts of both radio waves and X-rays, a phenomenon never seen before in this type of celestial event. A new kind of cosmic signal ASKAP J1832-0911 lies approximately 15,000 light-years from Earth a…
