Sentences with phrase «radio pulses from»

But he was not feeling so affectionate back then as he attempted to explain the peculiarly irregular timing of radio pulses from this city - size star: «It was really a lot of pain because the pulsar didn't want to fit any standard models.

These after - death planets can be detected because their gravitational pull alters the times of arrival of radio pulses from the neutron star, or «pulsar», that otherwise pass us by extremely regularly.

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) monitor the arrival times of radio pulses from numerous pulsars to search for shifts caused by passing long - wavelength gravitational waves.

Katelin Schutz, a theorist at the University of California, Berkeley, says that clarity could come even faster from stellar beacons called millisecond pulsars, which emit exquisitely regular pulses of radio waves.

Such tags, costing just a few cents, carry a small, non-powered chip that, when hit by radio waves from a nearby «reader,» converts some of the radio energy into its own radio pulse in return.

Last week, a scientific paper suggested that the powerful, milliseconds - long pulses of radio waves from space result when superdense burnt - out stars called neutron stars collide and perish in remote galaxies.

The nebula contains a pulsar in its centre which rotates thirty times per second, emitting pulses of radiation from gamma rays to radio waves.

We need to widen the way we listen for broadcasts from alien civilisations — looking for short pulses packed with information as well as simpler radio signals

When a radio - frequency electric pulse is applied to one end of such a tube (Anderson and Alexeff use fluorescent lamps), the energy from the pulse ionizes the gas inside to produce a plasma.

If orientated properly, a hot spot above the magnetic pole of the neutron star may whirl in and out of view for observers on Earth, producing a regular train of radio pulses separated by anything from a few milliseconds to a few seconds.

«This was particularly intriguing because radio pulses don't come from an X-ray binary and the X-ray source has to be long gone before radio signals can emerge.»

Until recently, we had seen fewer than 20 of these milliseconds - long pulses of radio waves, and they have been attributed to everything from quasars to aliens.

Fast radio bursts are brief, bright pulses of radio emission from distant but so far unknown sources, and FRB 121102 is the only one known to repeat: more than 200 high - energy bursts have been observed coming from this source, which is located in a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light years from Earth.

For years, scientists have been puzzled by the pulsing intensity of radio emissions from the ringed planet.

Over the coming months and perhaps years, radio waves from this star pair will continue to pulse toward Earth.

Coming from the direction of Sagittarius, the pulse of radiation was confined to a narrow range of radio frequencies around 1420 megahertz.

From the Earth, a pulsar looks like a star that has a pulse, a rapid beat picked up only by radio telescopes.

These fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief, bright pulses of radio emission from distant but unknown sources.

The Green Bank Telescope (GBT) has been used to detect 15 brief but powerful radio pulses emanating from FRB 121102.

Radar pulses (short bursts of radio - frequency energy) emitted from a ground - based transmitter are reflected by a meteor's trail.

We know very little about FRBs in general,» explains Justin Vandenbroucke, a University of Wisconsin — Madison physicist who, with his colleagues, is turning IceCube, the world's most sensitive neutrino telescope, to the task of helping demystify the powerful pulses of radio energy generated up to billions of light - years from Earth.

Some neutron stars, like the one in the Crab Nebula supernova remnant, are called pulsars because astronomers detect regular radio pulses coming from them.

The pulses are thought to result from lighthouse - like beams of radio energy shooting from the neutron star's magnetic poles that sweep across the Earth as the star rotates.

Aiming the 300 - foot at the supernova remnant known as the Crab Nebula in 1968, astronomers Staelin and Reifenstein discovered that the radio waves coming from the point inside the Nebula was not constant but pulsed.

Antennas for the Detection of Radio Emission Pulses from Cosmic - Ray induced Air Showers at the Pierre Auger Observatory

A University of Wisconsin — Madison physicist and his colleagues are turning IceCube, the world's most sensitive neutrino telescope, to the task of helping demystify powerful pulses of radio energy generated up to billions of light - years from Earth.

Not only does the game feature original tracks including pulse - pounders like «Boarder 70», «Let It Go», and «Too Fast», slower celebrative tracks like «Funk to the Top», as well as the lovingly wacky «Brother Goes Away», the game also features two remixes of original tracks from Jet Set Radio Future!
