LOFAR's Big Catch: A Radio Flash from a Neutron Star Cras...

What this episode covers

Astronomers using LOFAR detected a short, coherent radio flash at 144 MHz, 76.6 minutes after observing a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) called GRB 201006A. The probability of finding an unrelated transient is less than 1 in a million and it is thus likely the radio counterpart to GRB 201006A. The discovery of this radio flash suggests that searches for similar emissions could be helpful for multi-messenger campaigns following neutron star mergers and associated gravitational wave events. Identifying coherent radio emission from a gravitational wave detection would significantly improve the localization of the event, enabling more precise follow-up observations. Publication: A.

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Full Audiobook) Robert Greene Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in t API Intersection Stoplight Building a successful API requires more than just coding.
