A powerful X-ray burst erupts from a magnetar – a supermagnetized version of a stellar remnant known as a neutron star – in this illustration. A radio burst detected April 28 occurred during a flare-up like this on a magnetar called SGR 1935. (NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/Chris Smith (USRA))
One of three radio detectors that make up the Survey for Transient Astronomical Radio Emission 2 (STARE2) array is shown here at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex in California’s Mojave Desert. The other detectors are in Big Pine, California, and Delta, Utah. (NASA)
