Milky Way magnetarSpace
•Highly magnetic dead star launches mysterious blast of energy
75% Informative
Astronomers have caught a highly magnetic dead star, or "magnetar," in the Milky Way briefly acting like a pulsar.
The magnetar put on its pulsar disguise after emitting a powerful blast of radiation originally detected in 2020 .
It was linked to the highly magnetic neutron star, SGR J1935+2154, located around 30,000 light-years away.
It entered a brief "radio pulsar phase" five months after its FRB blast.
Magnetars have the most powerful magnetic fields in the universe, with some reaching over 1 billion Tesla.
They have long been cited as the source of FRBs.
Magnetars are different from pulsars because they usually lack the beams of radiowaves from their poles that make them appear to pulse.
But some magnetars can briefly become pulsars after they undergo a bout of bursting activity.
