Their low metallicity allows these tiny galaxies to produce more massive stars, and, probably because massive stars have stronger magnetic fields, their explosive deaths can leave behind highly magnetized neutron stars, or magnetars.
A large body of evidence now identifies pulsars as rotating magnetized neutron stars.
«More than 1,200 gamma - ray bursts, plus 500 flares from our sun and a few hundred flares from highly magnetized neutron stars in our galaxy have been seen by the GBM,» said principal investigator Bill Paciesas, a senior scientist at the Universities Space Research Association's Science and Technology Institute in Huntsville, Ala..
The new study finds that the supernovae are likely powered by the creation of a magnetar, an extraordinarily magnetized neutron star spinning hundreds of times per second.
Hessels thinks the culprit may be occasional explosions from extremely rapidly spinning, highly magnetized neutron stars.
A newly discovered magnetized neutron star could be used to test Einstein's general theory of relativity
Two common models for gamma - ray emission from FRBs exist: one invoking magnetic flare events from magnetars — highly magnetized neutron stars that are the dense remnants of collapsed stars — and another invoking the catastrophic merger of two neutron stars, colliding to form a black hole.
Not exact matches
But some neutron stars are much more strongly magnetized than others, and this disparity has long puzzled astrophysicists.
The Dutch and Breakthrough Listen teams suggest that the fast radio bursts may come from a highly magnetized rotating neutron star — a magnetar — in the vicinity of a massive black hole that is still growing as gas and dust fall into it.
