Earlier in 2026, a University of Sydney PhD student traced a 1.34497
Earlier in 2026, a University of Sydney PhD student traced a 1.34497-hour radio pulse to a dead star. Today, its 1.368-hour orbit explains why the bursts repeat. ASKAP J1745−5051 is a white dwarf binary that produces radio bursts, X-rays and optical signals. Its orbit helps explain the timing and provides a case for studying long-period radio transients.

Strange Signals Called Long
Long-period Radio Transients are sources that emit repeating radio and x-ray signals. The signals are polarized and coherent, and are similar to pulsars in some respects. But the type of astrophysical object responsible for them has been vigorously debated. New research says that at least one of them comes from a cataclysmic variable, a binary star where a white dwarf and a red dwarf orbit closely.
