Parkes telescope finds new kind of cosmic object

According to a release "Parkes telescope finds new kind of cosmic
object" (16 Feb.,'06)

http://www.atnf.csiro.au/news/press/rrats.html

"A team of astronomers from the UK, USA, Australia, Italy and Canada
using the CSIRO Parkes radio telescope in eastern Australia has found a
new kind of cosmic object: small, compressed 'neutron stars' that show
no activity most of the time but once in a while spit out a single
burst of radio waves. The discovery is published in this week's issue
of the journal Nature [16 February 2006]..."

(Hey LT., I see that one of the contacts is Dr Jim Cordes. If you guys
are still in contact, is there anything else that may be of interest to
us SETIphiles?)
