Researchers Discover Direct Observational Evidence for Chromospheric Magnetic Reconnection Driving Quasiperiodic Coronal Jets

The researchers use high spatiotemporal resolution observations from space (SDO) and ground-based (NVST) telescopes to discover direct observational evidence for the quasiperiodic magnetic reconnection driving mechanism of coronal jets. Solar jets are common transient plasma ejection phenomena in the solar atmosphere, observable in multiple wavebands such as Hα, extreme ultraviolet (EUV), and X-ray. But coronal jets continuously transport mass and energy from the lower...

Unveiling the Long-Term Evolution of Magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846

The researchers developed a unified evolutionary model that simultaneously incorporates magnetic dipole radiation, wind braking, and gravitational-wave emission, and provided a new explanation for its unusually low braking index. Recently, LI Biaopeng, a PhD student supervised by Prof. GAO Zhifu in the Pulsar Research Group at Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, carried out a study on the unusual spin-down behavior of the magnetar Swif...

What is the pulsar radio emission region like in general?

The researchers have investigated radio emission by comparing the profile widths predicted by the emission geometry with observed ones.For more than 50 years, pulsar scientists have tried to understand how the place, where radio emission is generated, looks like. Some suggest that the emission region is uniform and well-organised, whereas others think that it is random ...

Installing a “Filter” for FAST: Researchers Develop an Automatic Multi-Beam RFI Mitigation Tool

The researchers developed a high-efficiency RFI mitigation software package—mRAID (multi-beam RAdio-frequency Interference Detector)—specifically designed for multi-beam receivers. The tool significantly improves the search efficiency ...Under the starry night sky, radio telescopes serve as humanity’s sensitive “ears,” capturing faint whispers from the depths of the Universe. However, with the rapid expansion of modern communication technologies, radio frequency inter...

Study reveals Hot Molecular Cores Persist Throughout Massive Protostar Evolution

The researchers conducted a systematic study of a sample of protoclusters using data from the ALMA-QUARKS survey. The study reveals that massive hot cores can appear at various evolutionary stages of high-mass protostars, challenging the...Recently, MENG Dezhao, a PhD student at the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the guidance of Prof.LIU Tie and his supervisor Prof.Jarken Esimbek, conducted a systematic study of a sample of prot...
