The origin of the radio signals could be two super-energetic objects up to 457 light years apart.
The European VLBI network – a network of radio telescopes located on four continents – has discovered a powerful “radio flash”, repeating a 16-day cycle. It “exploded” continuously for about 4 days, remained silent for the next 12 days, and then repeated the cycle.
“Radio shock”, called FRB for short, is a short but strong form of radio signal that is usually transmitted to Earth from a very distant location. Its origin remains an interesting mystery, whether due to a merger of neutron stars – an energy-rich “stellar corpse”, or a supernova explosion of an extremely powerful star type, and it is also suspected that this is an alien signal. civilization.
The publication in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy said it analyzed synthetic data from telescopes using the new technique to separate data with “high temporal resolution”, helping to provide Take with insight into the physical space around the radio signal source.
According to the group of authors led by two astronomers Kenzie Nimmo and Anton Pannekoek from the University of Amtersdam (The Netherlands), which emits strange signals up to 457 light years away and belong to another planet.
Sputnik News said the authors suspected that this radio flash, called FRB 180916, was sent from a binary system made up of a neutron star and another large star. The intense interaction between the two objects caused radio emissions so strong that they were transmitted to Earth.
