Pulsars spin very rapidly and angle in such a way that radio waves from the magnetic poles pass over the Earth in every revolution. Scientists are wondering whether similar behavior can be seen in white dwarf stars. Jonathan Katz has uploaded his research paper to the preprint server arXiv. It is yet to be reviewed.
Where this signal comes from is located about 4,000 light years away from Earth. Many scientists have studied about this object. These include Australian researchers, who discovered it using a telescope named Murchison Widefield Array located in Western Australia. Data collected by the telescope between January and March 2018 showed the object pulsating rapidly for about 30 to 60 seconds every 18.18 minutes.
We told you another news related to the stars in the past. When a star explodes, it becomes very bright. It is called supernova. The European Southern Observatory (ESO) has captured images of an explosion in the Cartwheel galaxy. This explosion happened in a star. The name of this supernova is SN2021afdx, which has been identified as a Type II supernova. This type of supernova is formed when the fuel of a large star runs out. This fuel is necessary for the gravity of the star and prevents it from collapsing.
