Nearby dwarf star with radio bursts

https://phys.org/news/2022-04-radio-flares-nearby-dwarf-star.html

A star less than 40 light years away and about one tenth the mass of our sun has these blasts of radio waves detected by this new radio scope.

I am an RF dude, my job has me operating and repairing and tuning multithousand watt RF generators and I am a ham with my own transmitters so this was interesting to me.

Makes me think of Tyrion Lannister jamming to a boombox

@AThousandYoung
Well for GOT, it would be more like a beatbox🙂

Are radio waves the only radiation this thing is putting out?

Can't be. Even a dwarf star will approximate a black body spectrum of the right temperature.
