SETI LIVE: Strange radio waves from the galactic centre

A team of radio astronomers detected an unusual signals from deep in the heart of the Milky Way using CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope. The radio waves fit no currently understood pattern of variable radio source and could suggest a new class of stellar object. What could this be? Pulsar, huge solar flare, or something else?

We invited the lead author of the paper published in October in Astrophysical Journal, Ziteng Wang and his Ph.D supervisor Professor Tara Murphy, both from the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Sydney to discuss with SETI Institute Senior astronomer Franck Marchis on their discovery and its extraordinary behavior.
