Magnetars are a class of neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. These incredibly dense objects are ...

An international research team, including the University of Geneva (UNIGE), has for the first time used numerical simulations ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise to mysterious "low-field magnetars." ...

Theoretical and computational astrophysics, including solar and stellar convection, magnetic dynamo action within stars, turbulence in many settings, and helioseismology. Central to this is ...

Scientists say the discovery of this dynamo-like mechanism could solve the mystery of so-called "low-field magnetars." Magnetars are neutron stars with the universe's most powerful magnetic fields ...

The magnetic dynamo is generated inside the sun, at the boundary between the inner radiative layer and the outer convection layer. In the radiative layer, energy is transported from the star's ...

A – The coil is at 0°. The coil is moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field, so no potential difference is induced. B – The coil is at 90°. The coil is moving at 90° to the ...

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still ...

Researchers show that this process plays a very important role in the formation of a magnetic field via the Tayler-Spruit dynamo mechanism. "This mechanism was suggested theoretically nearly a ...
