Stellar Rosetta Stone (ASKAP J1745−5051):Binary star system consisting of a white dwarf (dense remnant of a dead star about the size of Earth but with a mass similar to the Sun) and a smaller red dwarf (one-tenth of the Sun’s mass)+ Signal Generation: As the orbit is tight, both stars orbit each other in just over one hour+ This generates strong magnetic interactions producing repeating radio bursts detectable from Earth+ May help explain the origin of mysterious LPT signals and distinguish between white dwarf systems and pulsars+ Scientists Discover ASKAP J1745−5051, a stellar Rosetta Stone to decode Mysterious long-period radiotransients (LPTs) signals detected across the galaxy.
