With the most powerful radio telescope in the southern hemisphere, we have observed a twinkling star and discovered an ...

The interstellar plasma is turbulent and scatters pulsar radio waves slightly away from a direct, straight line path. The ...

The scintillation arcs also gave us the velocities of the plasma layers. Far from being as expected, we discovered that one ...

Twinkling little radio star To the naked eye ... Far from being as expected, we discovered that one inner plasma structure is moving towards the shock front against the flow of the shocked ...

Scientists using South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope have peered into the interstellar medium like never before, uncovering ...

While pulsars emit radio waves rather than visible light (like stars), they still “twinkle” because of turbulence ... the pulsar and its energetic wind of fast-moving particles create a ...
