Researchers using Murriyang,’s Parkes radio telescope, have detected unusual radio pulses from a previously dormant star with a powerful magnetic field.describe radio signals from magnetar XTE J1810-197 behaving in complex ways.and the strongest magnets in the Universe. At roughly 8,000 light years away, this magnetar is also the closest known to Earth.
Dr. Marcus Lower, a postdoctoral fellow at Australia’s national science agency – CSIRO, led the latest research and said the results are unexpected and totally unprecedented. ”The signals emitted from this magnetar imply that interactions at the surface of the star are more complex than previous theoretical explanations.”Advanced Astronomical Techniques and Theories
XTE J1810-197 was first observed to emit radio signals in 2003. Then it went silent for well over a decade. The signals were again detected by the University of Manchester’s 76-m Lovell telescope at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in 2018 and quickly followed up by Murriyang, which has been crucial to observing the magnetar’s radio emissions ever since.
