Astronomers have traced mysterious radio pulses from space to an unusual pair of stars, including a dead star that spins once every eight minutes! Researchers at Curtin University and the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) identified the system as GPM J071507−114153. The system contains a white dwarf — the dense remnant of a dead star — orbiting alongside a G-type star similar to our Sun. The discovery offers new clues about the origins of mysterious radio signals detected across the cosmos. Credit: Natasha Hurley-Walker #Astronomy #WhiteDwarf #SpaceDiscovery
