According to the news on the Space.com website, NASA’s Candra X-ray telescope discovered with the telescope and called “ASKAP J1832-0911”, the undefined object, every 44 minutes every 44 minutes, emit both radio waves and X-rays for 2 minutes.

The object, which was included in the “Long Period Transient” (LPT) type, was first visualized by displaying a high-energy X-ray of a LPT for the first time, as well as emitting a low-energy radio wave of the object.

Researchers assess that the finding can help to reveal what flashing objects, called LPTs, are actually and how they send their signals.

Researchers who think that “ASKAP J1832-0911” was a dead star has not yet reached a finding about the form of this object.

“This object doesn’t look like anything we’ve seen before, Z said Zieng Wang, the team leader of the research and Curtin University researcher. he said.

There is not yet an explanation of how the signals from LPTs occur, and astronomers do not yet know why these signals are “opened and” closed “at long, regular and unusual intervals.

LPTs, which are flashing objects that spread radio waves at a few minutes or a few hours apart, were first discovered in 2022, and a total of 11 LPTs have been detected since the first detection.

The research was published in Nature magazine.
