Gorgeous videos of the meteor in the comments. Enjoy! 🌠

Results just released from NANOGrav PFC and international partners show - for the first time - the signature of long-wavelength gravitational waves rippling through space. (1/n)

Great to attend the Faculty of Science and Engineering Excellence 2022 Awards ⁦Curtin University⁩. Many congratulations to ⁦Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker⁩ who is a winner of the Mid-Career Research Award. 🥳 🎉

A Repeating Radio Burst Astronomers Can’t Explain Isn’t Going Away iflscience.com/a-repeating-ra…

In research published today in @nature, ICRAR astronomers using the MWA and led by Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker discover what may be a 'long-period #magnetar' - a new kind of slowly spinning star whose radio emissions "shouldn’t be possible". icrar.org/magnetar/

You asked me whether we'd found any other weird slowly-repeating radio sources and all I could say was: "watch this space". Until today! We've found a new object - and this one breaks all the rules!

Read on to hear my theory on the "aliens of the gaps" 🖖

Astronomers from ICRAR using the MWA and three CSIRO_ATNF telescopes have discovered a new type of stellar object that upsets our understanding of neutron stars. 🌟 Here's why we're excited: csiro.au/en/news/All/Ne… 📷 | Pete Wheeler #Magnetar

A team of astronomers, lead by Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker, used the MWA to discover a long-period radio transient that has been active for almost three decades. The object was confirmed in archival data from the #VLA and the #GMRT, with detections going as far back as 1988!

Exciting discovery led by our partners ICRAR-Curtin University using MWA, with follow up observations from fellow SKA precursors ASKAP & MeerKAT: a new type of stellar object that challenges our understanding of the physics of neutron stars!

This is another great example of the complementarity of radio facilities. Congrats to the international team behind the result, inc. lead author Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker, co-chair of the SKAO's Extragalactic Continuum Science Working Group! Read the nature paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Astronomers have detected a long-running source of slow, repeating radio pulses that can’t be explained by current theories – but it’s probably not aliens. Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker from Curtin University has all the details 👇 theconversation.com/a-mysterious-i…
