A team of researchers based in pune has discovered eight 'exotic' radio stars hotter than the Sun, which have unusually strong magnetic fields and numerous stellar winds.
The research papers were submitted by a team from the National Center for Astrophysics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Pune.
Research has shown that these stars emit intense radio pulses due to their emission characteristics.
They are 'main-sequence radio pulse' (MRP) emitters with strong magnetic fields.
The discovery was made by a team led by researcher Bernali Das and their supervisor, professor Poonam Chandra.
'The success of the GMRT program has opened a new window into learning about the strange magnetic fields of these types of stars,' the NCRA said.
Researcher Bernali Das hails from the Bajali district in Assam. He started his career as an intern at the National Center for Radio Astrophysics in Pune. Currently, the National Center for Radio at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Pune/
Is a research scholar in astrophysics. The NCRA team said in a press release that it had previously detected three such stars using GMRT.
Of the 15 MRPs known so far, 11 were detected using GMRT. According to researchers, eight were discovered in 2021 alone. The first MRP was discovered in 2000.
