Researchers explore effects of fully relativistic condition on electron cyclotron maser emission
Radio emission, carrying a wealth of information, is critical for understanding the physical process of various outbursts. The electron cyclotron maser emission (ECME) plays an important role as a coherent radiation mechanism in explaining radio emis.....»»
"Cold stream" of molecular gas outside a galaxy observed, confirming theories of star formation
An international team of space scientists has observed a "cold stream" of molecular gas outside of a galaxy, confirming theories of star formation within galaxies. In their study, published in the journal Science, the group used the array of radio te.....»»
Fast radio bursts used as "searchlights" to detect gas in Milky Way
University of Toronto researcher Amanda Cook has found a way to use bright signals coming from across the universe to weigh the atmosphere of the Milky Way galaxy......»»
Brightest-ever gamma-ray burst (the “BOAT”) continues to puzzle astronomers
No evidence of associated supernova, and afterglow radio data contradicts current models. On October 9, 2022, Swift’s X-Ray Telescope captured the afterglow of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, called GRB 221009A. On th.....»»
Sydney astronomers provide rapid radio-wave follow-up observation for gamma ray burst GRB 221009A
Australian astronomers have provided vital information in the global effort to understand the brightest-ever detected gamma ray burst, which swept through our solar system on October 9 last year......»»
For the first time, astronomers have linked a mysterious fast radio burst with gravitational waves
We have just published evidence in Nature Astronomy for what might be producing mysterious bursts of radio waves coming from distant galaxies, known as fast radio bursts or FRBs......»»
Did we already observe our first “blitzar”?

Is Apple about to announce a "Broadcast" App?
Apple has just denied an update to years-old internet radio and live streaming app "Broadcasts," based on a name-likeness rule that is used to prevent developers from copying Apple app names.'Broadcasts' denied for Apple name collisionLongtime develo.....»»
NASA picks a commercial partner to visit the far side of the moon
NASA has contracted Firefly Aerospace to deliver payloads including a radio telescope to the far side of the moon, which minimizes radio noise coming from Earth......»»
Online Event: Join Us for a Chat About Makers and Ham Radio
Please join us next Wednesday March 23 at 7pm ET / 4pm PT for an online conversation about "Makers and Hams." We will talk about the joys of making and amateur radio, how both attract enthusiasts and the commonalities of their communities. The post.....»»
The 2024 Ford Mustang is the next car to lose AM radio
If you listen to a lot of AM radio, the next Ford Mustang is not the car for you. Enlarge / Ford has gone for a high-tech interior for the next Mustang, and AM radio did not make the cut. (credit: Ford) You have to hand.....»»
Powerful yet lonely: The distant quasar left alone in its group
Looking at the night sky with the naked eye, we can only see an infinitesimal part of what the Universe contains, and the largest part cannot even be "seen". Radio wavelengths have gifted us some of the most fascinating astronomical sources: radio-lo.....»»
Lunar telescope project aims to search for ancient radio waves
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are leading a new effort to land a radio telescope on the moon. If successful, the project will mark the first step towards exploring the Dark Ages of the universe......»»
Astronomers detect radio recombination lines of carbon/oxygen ions for first time
A research team from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has detected radio recombination lines (RRLs) of ions heavier than helium for the first time, using the TianMa 65-m Radio Telescope (TMRT). These lin.....»»
Radio interference from satellites is threatening astronomy
A proposed zone for testing new technologies could head off the problem. Enlarge / Radio observatories like the Green Bank Telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia, are in radio quiet zones that protect them from interference. (cr.....»»
Radio interference from satellites is threatening astronomy—zone proposed for testing new technologies
Visible light is just one part of the electromagnetic spectrum that astronomers use to study the universe. The James Webb Space Telescope was built to see infrared light, other space telescopes capture X-ray images, and observatories like the Green B.....»»
