The mentioned signal is rated as GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3. It comes from our galaxy, but scientists haven’t been able to pinpoint its source for some time. To understand what it is, answers must be found in the types of stars known to astronomers.
A pulsar is a type of neutron star that rotates very quickly. On the other hand, a white dwarf is a remnant of an ordinary star that has run out of fuel (our The sun is about to end the same). At first, scientists argued that the signal might come from a very long-range magnetar, but that didn’t quite match up either.
So the researchers concluded that it must be pulsar white dwarfIt is a very rare phenomenon. Therefore, scientists are looking at the object GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3 in the direction of further observations that may lead to new discoveries on this topic.
Astronomers think there may be more white dwarfs in space. However, finding them does not have to be easy, scientists note.
At the same time, we invite you to listen to the latest episode of the podcast from a technical point of view. This time we talked to the creator of the ANS encoding … which is used by almost the whole world today. Although he has developed a great solution, he hasn’t seen a single zloty, and tech giants – from Google to Microsoft – are trying to patent them, without sharing the profits with the world. How did this happen and what exactly does ANS allow? You can find the answers to this below:
