telescopes, the Murchison Widefield Array\u00a0of Western Australia and the MeerKAT in South Africa to trace back the frequencies to a red dwarf.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module

Walker wrote.<\/p>\n<p>As to how a red and white dwarf could create such a signal, it is similar to the nature of our own solar system, according to Walker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe red dwarf probably produces a stellar wind of charged particles, just like our Sun does,\u201d Walker added. \u201cWhen the wind hits the white dwarf\u2019s magnetic field, it would be accelerated, producing radio waves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She compared it to how solar winds interact with the Earth\u2019s magnetic fields to create the northern lights and low-frequency radio waves.<\/p>\n<p>As much of a breakthrough as this is, the team recognizes there is much more work to be done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the other hand, there may be\u00a0many different kinds\u00a0of systems that can produce long-period radio pulsations,\u201d Walker wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEither way, we\u2019ve learned the power of expecting the unexpected \u2013 and we\u2019ll keep scanning the skies to solve this cosmic
