Brown astronomers develop innovative method to filter interference in radio telescopes
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 18, 2025 Astronomers analyzing data from the Murchison Widefield Array, a radio telescope in Western Australia, encountered an unexpected anomaly. Instead of deep-space radio signals from over 13 billion years ago, they detected a terrestrial television broadcast-despite the telescope's location in a designated radio quiet zone designed to minimize signal interference. The surprising find led Brown University physicist Jonathan Pober and Ph.D. student Jade Ducharme to investigate the origin of the signal. ... read more |

Astronomers Detect Crucial Factor in Star Formation
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 31, 2025 For the first time, astronomers have identified a long-theorized but previously unobserved component essential to star formation: magnetic fields within merging galaxies. Much like a pressure cooker uses a weighted lid to retain heat and pressure, these magnetic fields may regulate the extreme environments where stars are born. An international team, including researchers from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian (CfA), has detected magnetic fields within a gas and dust disk sever ... read more
