Huge energetic flare from magnetic neutron star detected

The Hindu  

April 25, 2024 12:46 pm | Updated 12:46 pm IST Magnetars are among the universe's most extreme objects - a class of the compact stellar remnants called neutron stars that possess immensely strong magnetic fields. While there are more energetic cosmic events such as supernova explosions at the end of a massive star's life and gamma-ray bursts caused by two …

Do dead stars crash with the light of 500 million suns?

The Hindu  

Astrophysicists are trying to wrap their heads around another twist in the story of fast radio bursts – mysterious radio frequency emissions that reach us from distant galaxies. Magnetars rotate slowly compared to other neutron stars, so scientists reasoned that it is the objects’ ultra-strong magnetic energy rather than their rotation that probably produces the emission of FRBs. This was …

'Defying physics': What is the mysterious object that is 10 million times brighter than the sun?

Firstpost  

An enigmatic celestial object that is so bright that it should have burst has left researchers puzzled. The analysis confirmed that one ultraluminous X-ray light called M82 X-2 can be 10 million times as bright as the sun. M82 X-2 pulled in about 9 billion trillion tons of material per year from a neighbouring star, or about 1.5 times the …

Einstein Home Project Helps Discover Source of Mysterious Gamma-rays Blasted Towards Earth

News 18  

For a few years, scientists had been puzzled by mysterious gamma-ray blasts pulsating towards Earth from the vastness of our immense cosmos. The discovery is doubly special as it was not conducted in an isolated facility with a bunch of white-coat clad scientist alone; instead public participated in this mystery-solving with a project very aptly named Einstein@Home. Through citizen collaboration, …

Astronomers spot 'unexplained brightness' from colossal explosion

India TV News  

Astronomers have discovered the brightest infrared light from a short gamma-ray burst ever seen, with a bizarre glow that is much brighter than previously thought was possible. It's half-second flash of light, detected in May of this year, came from a violent explosion of gamma rays billions of light-years away that unleashed more energy in a blink of an eye …
