Not a message, but rather, natural emissions. Stars generate HUGE magnetic fields. Planets orbiting and spinning within these fields disrupt them, and can produce radio waves as a result. Analysis of these emissions can tell astronomers more about the exoplanet. It is yet another clever technique to tease out info from these staggeringly distant objects.

What I’m going to have to look up is the definition of a radio light curve. The term doesn’t make sense to me.
