Radio bursts reportedly detected from exoplanet β Pictoris b
A post sharing an arXiv paper reports rapid, recurring radio bursts alongside persistent emission at frequencies of 0.85–3.5 GHz.
TLDR
A post sharing an arXiv paper reports radio emission from exoplanet β Pictoris b at frequencies of 0.85–3.5 GHz. It describes rapid, recurring bursts that are highly circularly polarized, as well as persistent emission, and identifies the emission as cyclotron maser radiation.
