Magnetar Star Magnetic Field: Crores of astronomical events happen daily in the universe, but in the midst of all this, scientists have discovered something that surprises everyone. Scientists have discovered 57 thousand crore times brighter than the Sun in the space about 380 million light years away from the Earth.
So much energy is coming out of this shining object that it dazzles the naked eye. But, its distance is so much that you cannot see it with naked eyes. According to the information, this glowing thing is nothing but a big ball of hot gases. But for scientists it is proving to be a crooked pudding, because scientists are not able to understand what it is after all?
this shiny thing is a supernova
Some scientists believe that this bright thing is a supernova. Supernova is also called Magnetar. Let us tell you that it is the most luminous and powerful among the magnetars discovered by scientists so far. Christoph Stanek, Professor of Astronomy at Ohio State University, said that if it is a magnetar, then we will keep its strength out of the scale of 1 to 10. That is, will keep it at 11.
most powerful of the magnetars
This magnetar is the most powerful magnetar discovered so far, no supernova of this kind has been found so far. Scientists have named this magnetar ASASSN-15Ih. It is usually 200 times more luminous than the supernovae that are there. Scientists said, even if we add the brightness of all the stars present in our galaxy, this supernova is 20 times more luminous.
Professor Krzysztof Stanek said, “We ourselves are not able to understand what this thing is. Where is it getting so much brightness. It can be a fast rotating star, which has a very high magnetic field. It is at least 1000 rounds are rotating in a second, due to which it is shining a lot.At present, scientists are studying it.
