🔆 Key Takeaways: Discovery of Exotic Star ASKAP J1832-0911
✅ Astronomers discovered ASKAP J1832-0911, a star emitting a rare combination of radio waves and X-rays, located 15,000 light-years away in the Milky Way.
✅ Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Australia’s ASKAP telescope aided the finding.
✅ The star may be a magnetar (spinning neutron star with a strong magnetic field) or a white dwarf in a binary system.
✅ Stars with up to eight times the Sun’s mass often become white dwarfs, burning all hydrogen before collapsing into a dense core.
✅ The unusual radio emissions could be due to interactions between the white dwarf and its companion star.
