IXPE obtains first X-ray polarization measurement of magnetar outburst

What happens when the universe's most magnetic object shines with the power of 1000 suns in a matter of seconds? Thanks to NASA's IXPE (Imaging X‑ray Polarimetry Explorer), a mission in collaboration with ASI (Italian Space Agency), scientists are one step closer to understanding this extreme event.

Magnetar Flares May Forge the Universe’s Heaviest Elements | Geekoo

Flares from ultra-magnetized neutron stars, or magnetars, may be key contributors to the universe’s supply of heavy elements like gold and platinum, according to a new study from Ohio State University.

#Magnetare:

Neue #Goldquelle in alten Daten entdeckt.

Ein Ausbruch eines #Magnetars, aufgezeichnet vor 20 Jahren, beinhaltete ein Signal, das nun als #Nukleosynthese verstanden wird. Dabei entstehen schwere Elemente wie #Gold und #Platin.

Ein Forschungsteam aus den USA konnte den r-Prozess, der bereits vor 70 Jahren zumindest theoretisiert wurde, in einem aufgezeichneten Ausbruch eines Magnetars nachweisen.

So This is How You Get Magnetars

Magnetars are a type of neutron star with the most powerful magnetic fields in the universe. They're formed by the death of massive stars, like pulsars and other neutron stars. So, what creates such intense magnetic fields? Thanks to a new simulation, astronomers have discovered that a magnetar probably forms when material ejected by the supernova explosion falls back down onto the star's surface, amplifying its dynamo effect.
