Radio #ImageoftheWeek Meet NGC 253, aka the Sculptor Galaxy! 🌌 At ~11.5 million light-years from Earth, it is one of the closest starburst galaxies to the Milky Way. Starburst galaxies transmute gas into new stars up to 1,000 times faster than typical spiral galaxies! More ⤵️ #RadioAstronomy

Science image of starburst galaxy NGC 253, as observed by ALMA. A red region represents the lower density carbon monoxide (CO) gas surrounding higher density star-forming regions (stellar nurseries) in yellow.

A grid of 9 images of starburst galaxy NGC 253 with different colors representing different molecular species. In order: molecular gas (blue), shocked regions (red), relatively high-density regions (orange), young starbursts (yellow), developed starbursts (magenta), and molecular gas affected by cosmic-ray ionization (cyan).

Schematic image of the center of starburst galaxy NGC 253. At the top, a graph of radio wave intensity. Various locations are labeled with the corresponding tracer molecular species.

By combining data from MeerKAT and JWST, @manishacaleb.bsky.social et al. have traced a fast radio burst to a low-mass galaxy at redshift 2. That's only three billion years after the Big Bang, during the Universe's peak in star formation rate. ☄️🔭 #radioastro www.science.org/doi/10.11….

NEW PAPER: Wanchaloem Khwammai, my ex-student and now postdoc at NARIT, found a 300-deg polarization angle swing in multi-observatory radio data of the blazar OJ 287, likely caused by the propagation of a transient disturbance in the jet. arxiv.org/abs/2610.03044 🧪🔭☄️ #RadioAstro #Extragalactic

$Observed radio flux density, EVPA, and polarization fraction of OJ 287 as a function of time and frequency, covering the period from 2012 April to 2023 January.$
