There are strange "zebra" patterns coming from the Crab Nebula, and the reason has to do with plasma refraction.

A theoretical astrophysicist from the University of Kansas may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual "zebra" pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from ...

A long-standing enigma surrounding the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star at the center of the Crab Nebula, may have been unraveled.

A theoretical astrophysicist may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual 'zebra' pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from the Crab Nebula. A theoretical ...

Medvedev’s research provides an explanation for the zebra pattern in Crab Pulsar’s high-frequency radio waves.

Medvedev modeled wave diffraction off a circular reflecting region with radially varying index of refraction outside of it to better understand the Crab Nebula’s zebra pattern.

A theoretical astrophysicist believes he had solved the baffling mystery of the zebra patterned signal coming from the Crab ...
