Western Sydney University researchers, together with an international team of experts, have discovered a mysterious circular Space ring near our neighboring galaxy that could be the first known case of an intergalactic Supernova Remnant – remains of an exploded star that could be up to 7,000 years old, The unique Discovery Blown Away The Mind Of Scientists.

Dubbed a ‘rogue’ Supernova Remnant by the scientists and named J0624–6948, it is most likely located in the Large Magellanic Cloud – a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way – and its position suggests a previously unobserved origin.

Published in the prestigious journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, lead author Professor Miroslav Filipovic, from the University’s School of Science, said the discovery was exciting and raised many unanswered questions.

The ring that was discovered has significant differences to the five other known ORCs — a flatter radio spectral index, lack of a prominent central galaxy as a possible host, and larger apparent size — that all suggest it may be a different type of object.

“When we originally discovered this almost perfectly circular radio object we thought it was yet another ORC (Odd Radio Circle) but after our additional observations, it became clear that this object is much more likely to be something else,” said Professor Filipovic.

However, we considered other scenarios such as that this object might represent a remnant of the super-flare activity from a nearby Milky Way star (at only 190 light years away from Sun) that happened only a few centuries ago, or the premise that it may in fact be a much larger ORC.

The Ring was first detected with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) managed by CSIRO – one of several new generation radio telescopes that are revealing new features of the Universe.
