A strange ‘chirp’ in a brilliant stellar blast points to a #magnetar
About a billion light-years away, an extraordinary stellar explosion lit up in the night sky. The blast, detected December 12, 2024, was some 30 times the brightness of a typical #supernova, putting it in a rare group of superluminous #supernovas. Now, #astronomers believe they know what made the explosion so bright — an extreme type of star called a magnetar.

Superluminous supernovas are the brightest stellar explosions in the universe. Astronomers may have found a mechanism that can trigger these events.

🌌🔭 Mystery solved!

Astronomers have finally traced the source of powerful, unexplained X-rays bombarding Earth. They’re coming from a rare type of neutron star called a “magnetar” located thousands of light-years away.

This discovery helps explain one of the universe’s most energetic phenomena and gives us a clearer picture of the violent forces shaping our galaxy.

Magnetars drag spacetime to power superluminous supernovae

Frame-dragging may explain an odd pattern seen in the brightest supernovae.

Gli astronomi hanno osservato la nascita di un magnetar, confermando il legame con alcune delle stelle esplosive più luminose dell'universo

Per la prima volta gli astronomi hanno osservato la nascita di una magnetar — una stella di neutroni altamente magnetizzata e in rapida rotazione — e hanno confermato che è la fonte di energia dietro alcune delle stelle esplosive più luminose del cosmo.
