Radio #ImageoftheWeek Meet NGC 253, aka the Sculptor Galaxy! 🌌 At ~11.5 million light-years from Earth, it is one of the closest starburst galaxies to the Milky Way. Starburst galaxies transmute gas into new stars up to 1,000 times faster than typical spiral galaxies! More ⤵️ #RadioAstronomy

By combining data from MeerKAT and JWST, @manishacaleb.bsky.social et al. have traced a fast radio burst to a low-mass galaxy at redshift 2. That's only three billion years after the Big Bang, during the Universe's peak in star formation rate. ☄️🔭 #radioastro www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
💥A 10 billion-year-old radio signal reaches Earth 💥 🚨 Exciting new FRB paper led by @sydney.edu.au astronomers @manishacaleb.bsky.social & Dr Themiya Nanayakkara 🚨 www.spaceaustralia.com/feature/10-b... 📸 JWST/NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI/T. Nanayakkara/J. DePasquale #SpaceAustralia #RadioAstronomy 🔭📡
NEW PAPER: Wanchaloem Khwammai, my ex-student and now postdoc at NARIT, found a 300-deg polarization angle swing in multi-observatory radio data of the blazar OJ 287, likely caused by the propagation of a transient disturbance in the jet. arxiv.org/abs/2610.03044 🧪🔭☄️ #RadioAstro #Extragalactic
In lieu of the in-person VLA Open House (which was canceled due to road damage from flooding) the planned talks will be livestreamed with Q&A on NRAO’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page. 🗓️ Saturday, October 10 ⤵️ #astronomy #radioastro #verylargearray #nrao

What’s new with the Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA)? 📡 We’ve recently reached some milestones for “first fringes” – meaning successful correlation, combining signals from 2+ separate antennas. 📸 Credit: Scott Broadwell More ⤵️ #ngVLA #Astronomy #RadioAstronomy
Are millisecond Pulsars, nature's cosmic clocks, as stable as we once thought? A new study by @rami.spaceaustralia.com has reported the discovery of two consecutive profile change events on PSR J0437-4715. www.spaceaustralia.com/feature/disc... 📸 NASA SVS #SpaceAustralia #RadioAstronomy 🔭🧪📡
