Recently, researchers at the Shanghai Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with foreign scientific research teams, found a radio temporary source with abnormally slow periodic radiation by analyzing the observation data of the square kilometer array (ska) pilot telescope. Research shows that this temporary source is located in the Milky way, about 4200 light-years away from the solar system. Polarization measurement shows that this temporary source has a strong magnetic field, and its high degree of polarization in long-period and low-frequency bands can not be explained by the theoretical model and observation characteristics of known pulsars. Therefore, researchers ruled out the possibility that it is an ordinary pulsar. The team believes that it is more likely to be a magnetic star or a white dwarf with a strong magnetic field.
