The National Scientific Agency of Australia (CSIRO) has implemented a specialized method in its radio telescopes to analyze in detail the radio signals from deep space. As a result, dozens of space firms that had not been detected before, including signals associated with neutron and pulsar stars.
Much of the astronomical data on the universe are obtained from space radio waves. Giant structures such as galaxies, nebulae, black and quasar holes emit them naturally, while radio telescopes translate those signs into coherent images. The Earth is constantly bombarded by radio waves from all over the cosmos. Science works to develop methods to separate, distinguish and understand these firms, thus reducing “noise.”
Not all radio waves are equal or measured in the same way. Recently, astronomers have discovered rapid radio bursts (FRB). These events, which last only milliseconds, reveal extreme releases of energy to millions of light years away. Although its nature is not completely clear, it is believed that they are linked to phenomena such as neutron stars and supernova explosions. Only some advanced observatories are able to detect these FRB.
The new Radio Caple update update Askap In Australia it allows to capture scattered transitory signals, including fast radius bursts. Its application in the Observatory has revealed information about two stellar remnants and four pulsares, a subcategory of neutron stars that rotate at extreme speeds and generate intense magnetic fields. Since the implementation of this method, researchers have confirmed 20 FRB.
“Krak is allowing us to find these bursts better than ever. We have been looking for bursts 100 times per second and in the future we hope to increase this rate to 1,000 times per second,” said Andy Wang, principal researcher of the update and leader of the research team .
Some astronomers are dedicated to the study of “compact objects”, a category that includes black holes, white dwarfs and neutron stars. Investigating your behavior can reveal more information about the physics of matter under extreme conditions. Fast radio bursts represent a new source of information about these compact objects.
“We are also detecting long -term transitory, which are still mysterious objects within our galaxy. Both rapid radio bursts and these transitory were first discovered in Australia, so it is great that we continue to advance in the path of discovery with This impressive technology, “Wang said.
The ASKAP consists of 36 parabolic antennas, each 12 meters in diameter. All of them capture space information and combine to form a single instrument. It is located in an extremely low radio silence area, which guarantees the minimum interference of human telecommunications. Krak’s update will be available for any world researcher who wants to deepen the study of fast radio bursts.
