Artist’s depiction of CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope with two versions of the mysterious celestial object: neutron star or white dwarf

Astronomers Discover Slowest Spinning Neutron Star, Defying Expectations

Artist’s impression of a magnetar.

Mysterious Radio Signals from Nearby Magnetar Baffle Scientists

This image, taken by the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), shows two supermassive black holes, which appear as the blobs with red strips. The black holes are in the center of an elliptical galaxy. Colors represent different spectral slopes in radio emission, with red showing the most dense regions surrounding the black holes. The black hole on the right has likely recently devoured a massive star, which caused it to shoot out two ultrafast jets. The ends of those jets appear as green blobs above and below the black hole. This object, called J0405+3803, is referred to as a Compact Symmetric Object (CSO), because its jets are relatively close-in (or compact), compared to other black holes with much larger jets.

Sleeping supermassive black holes awakened briefly by shredded stars

An artist’s impression of the ultra-long period magnetar. Astronomers discovered the object using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a radio telescope on Wajarri Yamaji Country in outback Western Australia.

Astronomers find new type of stellar object

The HERA radio telescope, located in Karoo in South Africa, consists of 350 dishes pointed upward to detect radio waves from the early universe.
