   Astronomers have discovered a bizarre new pulsar-like object that's throwing out regular bursts of radio waves every 44 minutes. Totally normal, long-period pulsar behavior. But observations from Chandra show that it's also releasing a blast of X-rays every 44 minutes as well. The astronomers also found that the amount of both radio waves and X-rays has been decreasing over the course of six months. Is this a totally new type of object?
