For 10 months, a SETI Institute-led team watched pulsar PSR J0332+5434 (also called B0329+54) to study how its radio signal ...

A University of Manchester astronomer is set to build the most detailed and accurate model of the radio sky ever built, ...

While the scientific community grapples with the loss of the Arecibo radio telescope, astronomers who recently revived a long-dormant radio telescope array in Argentina hope it can help modestly ...

Satellites in low Earth orbit currently disrupt radioastronomical observations hundreds of times a day. An automated data-sharing system co-developed by SpaceX and American radio astronomers promises ...

Observations by the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) radio telescope reveal that Starlink’s second-generation (V2-mini) satellites emit significantly elevated levels of unintended electromagnetic radiation ...

The sharpest images of the universe are created when radio telescopes around the world work together. For the first time, the world's largest network of radio telescopes, EVN, has observed together ...

Astronomers in Australia picked up a strange radio signal in June 2024 — one near our planet and so powerful that, for a moment, it outshined everything else in the sky. The ensuing search for its ...

Fast radio bursts are mysterious and brief flashes of radio emissions that were thought to be produced by magnetars, highly magnetized rotating neutron stars. Yet magnetars appear primarily in young ...

Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about a millisecond, could ...
