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.
