A Magnetar, a very small, compact neutron star that periodically emits light
A Magnetar is a special kind of a pulsar, which is a very small, compact neutron star that periodically emits light. Magnetar are extremely powerful magnetic stars. In fact, they are the most magnetic objects known in the universe. They do not last long as magnetars, maybe only 30 000 years, after that the magnetic field fades. However, while a magnetar is active, it can produce magnetic fields with the intensity of 10^15 Tesla. The strongest magnet produced on Earth is only 40 Tesla. Strange things go on around magnetars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Magnetar, a unique and powerful celestial object in our vast universe. The digitally generated image depicts the enigmatic nature of these compact neutron stars that periodically emit light. With their intense magnetic fields, magnetars hold the title for being the most magnetic objects known to mankind. In this artwork, we witness vibrant loops and lines radiating from the magnetar, creating an awe-inspiring display of cosmic energy. The luminous blue hues symbolize the electromagnetic radiation emitted by this extraordinary star. Surrounding it, we observe protoplanetary disks and accretion discs, hinting at its role in shaping planetary systems. Magnetars are transient beings, existing for only around 30,000 years before their magnetic field gradually fades away. During their active phase though, they can produce magnetic fields with an astonishing intensity reaching 10^15 Tesla – far surpassing any earthly magnets ever created. As we delve into astrophysics and cosmology through this image's lens, we are reminded of the strange phenomena occurring around magnetars. Their starquakes release bursts of gamma rays and electromagnetic radiation that have captivated scientists' curiosity for decades. This visually striking illustration invites us to contemplate the mysteries hidden within our universe while celebrating humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge in science and physics.
