Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A US-Australian research team found that a “magnetar" – a kind of star with the strongest magnetic fields known in the Universe – is giving off extraordinary radio pulses, which links this rare type of star with the much more common “radio pulsars". The object in question is a neutron star – a small star made of extremely dense “neutron matter" – called XTE J1810-197. It lies about 10,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. The Parkes observations found it to be emitting radio pulses at every turn of the star, or every 5.54 seconds. These pulses have now been confirmed and studied with other telescopes in Australia, the USA and Europe.
