Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...
An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.
New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...
Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.
The mechanisms that sustain the Earth's magnetic dynamo, which has been active for over 3.4 billion years, have also been a subject of investigation. Various theories have been proposed ...
The Tayler-Spruit dynamo mechanism is thought to convert the angular momentum of infalling plasma to magnetic fields within the neutron star. This is similar to how mechanical dynamos on Earth ...
