Welcome to the most terrifying objects in the cosmos, Magnetars.These aren’t just neutron stars,they're neutron stars with supercharged magnetic power capable of ripping atoms apart and warping space ...

Magnetars are among the most bizarre and mysterious objects in the universe, packing in trillions of times more magnetic pull than the Earth or any magnet developed by humans.

Magnetars are the highly magnetic corpses of massive stars. Recent observations show magnetars cause the mysterious Fast Radio Burst signals that astronomers have detected for more than a decade.

Magnetars may also be responsible for superluminous supernovae, in which a flaring magnetar can reenergize the remnants of the supernova that birthed it, ...

I'll be honest: Magnetars freak me out. But to get to the "why," I have to explain the "what." Magnetars are a special kind of neutron star, and neutron stars are a special kind of dead star ...

For instance, magnetars rotate at a very slower rate, usually once every 8 to 10 seconds (as opposed to one or so rotations a second for neutron stars).

On magnetars these starquakes produce very short bursts of X-rays. Just like on Earth, you (have) periods where a given star is particularly active, producing hundreds or thousands of flares in a ...

Magnetars are some of the most extreme objects we know about, with magnetic fields so strong that chemistry becomes impossible in their vicinity. They're neutron stars with a superfluid interior ...

Magnetars are among the most bizarre and mysterious objects in the universe, packing in trillions of times more magnetic pull than the Earth or any magnet developed by humans. CNN values your feedback ...

(CNN) — Magnetars are among the most bizarre and mysterious objects in the universe, packing in trillions of times more magnetic pull than the Earth or any magnet developed by humans.
