Washington, September 23 (ANI): A high-school student from West Virginia, US, analyzing data from a giant radio telescope, has discovered a new astronomical object - a strange type of neutron star called a rotating radio transient.
Rotating radio transients are thought to be similar to pulsars, superdense neutron stars that are the corpses of massive stars that exploded as supernovae.
Rotating Radio Transients were discovered in 2006 as a result of data mining of the Parkes survey for transient objects.
