Curtin University researchers say a dead star spinning once every eight minutes is sending out mysterious radio pulses from more than 5,000 light-years away.
Astronomers traced mysterious radio pulses to a white dwarf orbiting a G-type star 5,000 light-years away, the first such pairing ever detected.
Astronomers traced mysterious radio pulses to a white dwarf paired with a G-type star more than 5,000 light-years away, a first for the puzzling class of long-period transients.
A white dwarf spinning every eight minutes is emitting repeating radio pulses while circling a G-type star 5,000 light-years away, researchers report.
