New Research Explains Zebra Pattern in Radio Waves from Crab Nebula
A new model by Mikhail Medvedev from the University of Kansas offers an explanation for the zebra-like pattern in high-frequency radio waves emitted by the Crab Pulsar. The pattern, first discovered in 2007, is likely caused by diffraction and interference of waves in the pulsar's plasma-rich environment. Medvedev’s model could also provide a met...
