Using the Chinese Fast radio telescope, an international group of astronomers has discovered a quasi-periodic wobble in the radio band in the galactic microquasar Grs 1915+105. The signal has an approximate period of 0.2 seconds and does not seem to occur all the time. It could be caused by a misalignment between the black hole's axis of rotation and its accretion disk

Students and faculty at 15 Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) will grow their research and technology capabilities, collaborate with NASA on research projects, and contribute to the agency’s missions through a new funding opportunity made possible by NASA’s Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP). The MUREP Partnership Annual Notification is providing nearly $900,000 to help selected MSIs develop new technologies for use in space exploration as well as in the commercial marketplace.

More than three years after April 28, 2020, an international team of scientists reports the outcome of the observations made with the Chinese Fast radio telescope of the first galactic fast radio burst, reporting that they have discovered a radio pulsar phase of the magnetar that emitted it . Flashes and pulses, therefore, with different characteristics but originating from the same object, the magnetar.
