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.

🌌🔭 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.

Gli astronomi hanno osservato la nascita di un magnetar, confermando il legame con alcune delle stelle esplosive più luminose dell'universo
#magnetar #supernove superluminose
@astronomiaPer 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.

Understanding mysterious magnetars 🧲 and radio bursts 🌟 with gravitational waves
A flash of radio waves lasting a few thousandths of a second, as bright as millions or billions of stars, and it’s all over: even almost 20 years after their discovery, fast radio bursts remain one of the most mysterious phenomena in our Universe. Scientists believe that neutron stars – very small and extremely dense stellar remnants with huge magnetic fields – emit these bursts.
An international team has now used gravitational waves to study a nearby neutron star that has emitted several radio bursts. The researchers analyzed data from the German-British GEO600 detector to learn more about the origin of these events. Their results contribute to a better understanding of these extreme events and their theoretical description.

Mit Gravitationswellen rätselhafte Magnetare 🧲 und Radioblitze 🌟 verstehen
Ein nur wenige Tausendstelsekunden langes Aufflackern von Radiowellen, das so hell wie Millionen oder Milliarden Sterne ist, und schon ist alles vorbei: Schnelle Radioblitze gehören auch fast 20 Jahre nach ihrer Entdeckung noch immer zu den rätselhaftesten Phänomenen in unserem Universum. Gesichert scheint, dass Neutronensterne – kleine und extrem dichte Sternenreste mit gewaltigem Magnetfeld – die Blitze aussenden.
Nun untersuchte ein internationales Team mithilfe von Gravitationswellen einen besonders nahen Neutronenstern, der gleich mehrere Radioblitze abstrahlte. Die Forschenden werteten dazu Daten des deutsch-britischen Detektors GEO600 aus, um mehr über die Entstehung dieser Ereignisse zu erfahren. Ihre Ergebnisse helfen dabei diese Extremereignisse besser zu verstehen und deren theoretische Beschreibung zu verfeinern.

An article published in the journal "Nature" reports the identification of the origin of the fast radio burst cataloged as FRB 20221022A linking it to a magnetar-class neutron star, probably emerging from its magnetosphere. A team of researchers used observations conducted with the CHIME radio telescope to identify the origin of this fast radio burst by exploiting the phenomenon of scintillation.
