An international team including Cornell researcher Jake Turner has developed a novel analysis method capable of uncovering previously undetectable stellar and exoplanetary signals hidden within archival radio-astronomical data. Thanks to this innovation, scientists have discovered new radio bursts originating from dwarf stars and possibly from exoplanets. The analysis method, Multiplexed Interferometric Radio Spectroscopy (RIMS), found that some of the signals detected are consistent with star-planet interactions.
