If the cyclotron line is from circling electrons, in contrast, then the magnetic field strength around the neutron star would not be exceptionally strong, and thus the field is probably not the reason these stars break the Eddington limit.

«The fact that this high - speed flickering was observed at the same time as flickering with a typical 1/10 second period may mean that the flickering aurora was caused by «electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves» (* 2), which are affected by both oxygen and hydrogen ions.»

After ruling out all other possibilities, they figured out that the dip was from a phenomenon called cyclotron resonance scattering, which occurs when charged particles — either positively charged protons or negatively charged electrons — circle around in a magnetic field.

This flickering typically oscillates at a 1/10 second period, which is equivalent to the ion cyclotron frequency (* 1) of oxygen ions.

«If the cyclotron line is from protons, then we know that these magnetic fields around the neutron star are extremely strong and may in fact be helping to breaking the Eddington limit,» says Brightman.

Cyclotron resonance scattering creates telltale signatures in a star's spectrum of light and the presence of these patterns, called cyclotron lines, can provide information about the strength of the star's magnetic field — but only if the cause of the lines, whether it be protons or electrons, is known.
