Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance with another star.

In the past three years, astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of radio source. We call these long-period transients.

Astronomers detected constant stream of radio pulses emitted from across the galaxy. Team now finds the pulses are from a white dwarf and red dwarf binary. The stars’ orbit is so tight that their magnetic fields interact,

Astronomers have finally traced mysterious radio pulses in the Milky Way to a unique cosmic duo—a red dwarf and a white dwarf orbiting each other every two hours. This discovery challenges previous assumptions that only neutron stars produce such signals.

For the first time, we have visual confirmation of a white dwarf/red dwarf system responsible for puzzling intermittent radio bleeps.

An international team of astronomers led by scientists from the Netherlands has shown that a white dwarf and a red dwarf orbiting each other every two hours are emitting radio pulses. Thanks to observations with several telescopes,
