Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all agesAstronomers are investigating clues from a cosmic crime scene in which a massive star died and left behind an extremely magnetic"dead" star called a magnetar., magnetars spin incredibly rapidly.
This results in the dying star losing the vast majority of its mass, leaving a core with a mass between one and two times theAn illustration of a neutron star compared to Manhattan Island. The matter of a neutron star is so dense that if a teaspoon of it were scooped out and brought to our planet, it would weigh about 10 million tons.
The collapse of a stellar core has another consequence as well. The magnetic field lines of the dying star are squashed together, causing the strength of the magnetic field to intensify. As a result, neutron stars have incrediblyHowever, some neutron stars really take this to the extreme, sporting the most powerful magnetic fields in the known universe.
Swift J1818.0-1617 comes in handy on this front because it is estimated to be just a few hundred years old. This magnetar is also so close to Earth that the VLBA can use a concept called"
