FAST telescope confirms 'radio-quiet' nature of selected magnetars

A recent study utilizing the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) has confirmed the "radio-quiet" characteristics of four magnetars and one magnetar-like pulsar. Conducted by Ph.D. student BAI Juntao under the supervision of Prof. Wang Na from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the study provides new insights into the radio emission properties of these extreme celestial objects.
