Magnetars are a class of neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. These incredibly dense objects are ...
Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still ...
There are plenty of types of stars out there, but one stands out for being just a little weirder than the others. You might even say it's strange. According to a paper from researchers at Guangxi ...
A long-lost cosmic explosion, buried within two decades of NASA's Chandra X-ray data, has finally been uncovered by astronomers using artificial intelligence. This incredibly powerful and fleeting ...
"Have you ever flipped through old photo albums and suddenly found something fascinating hidden in the background of a ...
One such central engine is the creation of a magnetar. Magnetars are another type of neutron star that is even more extreme. Their magnetic fields could be up to 1,000 times that of a typical ...
Magnetars are a type of neutron star with incredibly strong magnetic fields — a lot stronger than those of typical neutron stars, which can cause the magnetar to release enormous bursts of ...
The "needle in the haystack" discovery of a powerful explosion from a mysterious unknown object outside our galaxy has excited astronomers. It went unnoticed for years within a vast, two decade-long ...
