The other key characteristic of neutron stars is their magnetic field. During neutron star mergers, this magnetic field can reach values over a billion times higher than the largest magnetic field ...

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

Magnetars are neutron stars with the universe's most powerful magnetic fields, often hundreds of trillions of times more powerful than Earth's magnetosphere.. Low-field magnetars, first discovered ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold across space—all modeled with extreme detail using one of the world’s ...

Investigating complicated magnetic fields of neutron stars. Study lead author, Dr. Andrei Igoshev, Research Fellow at Newcastle University's School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics, said ...

“The magnetic field of the neutron star we studied is about 10 trillion times stronger than that of our own Sun, so for the first time ever, we have observed a jet coming from a neutron star ...

They're neutron stars with a superfluid interior that includes charged particles, so it's easy to understand how a magnetic dynamo is maintained to support that magnetic field.

Massive stars should not be able to have magnetic fields, but around 7% of them do anyway. A recent study found that this could be caused by stellar mergers.

Once the collapse happens, the dynamo that created the magnetic fields vanishes along with the rest of the neutron star. There's a lot of energy wrapped up in that field, and the loss of the ...

The main trait that sets magnetars apart from other neutron stars is a magnetic field 1,000 to 10,000 times stronger than an ordinary neutron star's magnetism and a trillion times that of the sun.
