Astronomers find radio pulses come from a white dwarf and red dwarf star system, not neutron stars as thought.
Astronomers have discovered that mysterious radio pulses, known as long-period transients, originate from a binary system of a white dwarf and a red dwarf star, 1,645 light-years away.
This discovery, published in Nature Astronomy, challenges previous theories that these signals came from neutron stars.
The system, named ILT J1101+5521, emits bursts of radio waves every 125.5 minutes, providing new insights into the origins of these bursts and suggesting that similar phenomena could be caused by binary interactions involving white dwarfs.
