Congratulations to the team for this amazing discovery!
🗞️ Detected a transient object emitting pulses in both radio waves and X-rays 🔭 This is the first time long-period transients have been detected in X-rays. It was detected with @CSIRO_ATNF's ASKAP radio telescope and NASA's @chandraxray. ➡️ https://t.co/L5vjGM6lo1
