Using the MeerKAT telescope, an international team of astronomers have detected 30 new radio transient pulsars as part of the Meer(more) TRAnsients and Pulsars (MeerTRAP) project. The discovery was reported in a paper published ...
A research team led by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has used the Tianma Radio Telescope to conduct multi-band radio observations of the returning comet 12P/Pons-Brooks (12P). They ...

The wavelengths of radio light are so large that you can't capture a high-resolution image with a single dish. To capture an image as sharp as, say, the Hubble telescope, you'd need a radio dish tens of kilometers across. ...

Astronomers report the discovery of two new highly scattered pulsars as part of the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) survey. The findings are detailed in a research paper published September ...
Astronomers from Curtin University in Australia and elsewhere have performed radio observations of a tidal disruption event known as AT2019azh. Results of the new study, published September 22 on the arXiv preprint server, ...
Interference from human activity has always been a sticking point in astronomical observations. Radio astronomy is notoriously sensitive to unintentional interference—hence why there are "radio silent" zones near telescopes ...
