We've detected a star barely hotter than a pizza oven – the coldest ever found to emit radio waves

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, July 13, 2023

Our findings, published today in the Astrophysical Journal, detail the detection of pulsed radio emission from this star, called WISE J0623.

Key Points: 
  • Our findings, published today in the Astrophysical Journal, detail the detection of pulsed radio emission from this star, called WISE J0623.
  • Despite being roughly the same size as Jupiter, this dwarf star has a magnetic field much more powerful than our Sun’s.

Making waves with radio stars

    • With over 100 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, it might surprise you astronomers have detected radio waves from fewer than 1,000 of them.
    • Most of the detections of stars with radio telescopes over the past few decades have been flares from highly active stars or energetic bursts from the interaction of binary (two) star systems.
    • These cool brown dwarfs can’t sustain the levels of atmospheric activity that generates radio emission in hotter stars, making stars like WISE J0623 harder for radio astronomers to find.

How did we find the coolest radio star?

    • The telescope can see large regions of the sky in a single observation and has already surveyed nearly 90% of it.
    • So how do we tell which of these millions of sources are radio stars?
    • By selecting only highly circularly polarised radio sources from an earlier survey of the sky, we found WISE J0623.

What does this discovery mean?

    • Previous research has shown that radio emission detected from other cool brown dwarfs was tied to their magnetic fields and generally repeated at the same rate as the star rotates.
    • To investigate this we did follow-up observations with CSIRO’s Australian Telescope Compact Array, and with the MeerKAT telescope operated by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory.
    • WISE J0623 is the coolest brown dwarf detected via radio waves and is the first case of persistent radio pulsations.

  • The Stratasys Board continues to believe that Nano’s campaign against Stratasys is of questionable legal authority and credibility and poses significant risk to the Company and our shareholders.
