		<description>[...] EXPLOSIONES INESPERADAS EN PULSAR, PODRÃAN SER CAUSADAS POR MAGNETARS. 21 de febrero de 2008. Los pulsar son estrellas de neutrones, cuyo eje de giro coincide con nuestra lÃ­nea de vista. La mayorÃ­a de los pulsar emite ondas de radio, rayos X y radiaciÃ³n gamma a perÃ­odos regulares (desde milisegundos hasta algunos segundos) y algunos de ellos son tan precisos, como los relojes atÃ³micos mÃ¡s exactos en la Tierra. Sin embargo, de vez en cuando, estos cuerpos estallan, emitiendo grandes cantidades de energÃ­a al espacio. Se estima que en fracciones de segundos pueden lanzar la energÃ­a equivalente a 75.000 veces la de nuestro Sol. Los cientÃ­ficos se preguntan si este estallido en un proceso natural en la vida de los pulsar o en cambio es un nuevo fenÃ³meno cÃ³smico. Algunos investigadores sugieren la idea que los responsables de estos estallidos podrÃ­an ser los magnetar, un nuevo tipo de estrella de neutrones, descubierto hace algunos aÃ±os.

		<description>Could it be like a CME on the sun? When the sun&#039;s magnetic field gets twisted and warped due to rotation, the magnetic lines &quot;break&quot;, cuasing a massive outburst.

A faster rorating pulsar would twist-up it&#039;s magneic field quicker. It seems that eventually (and periodically) it must snap back into place.</description>

		<description>&quot;David Madison, Sr. Says:
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:39 am

This event may reflect a red giant binary companion to the neutron star/pulsar/magnetar...&quot;

Companions of neutron stars are very easy to detect, due to the doppler shifting of their pulse frequency with the companion&#039;s orbit.  Hence, I&#039;d say they&#039;ve pretty much ruled out a companion, unless it is intrinsically faint or we are pole-on to its orbit. Just my two cents...</description>

		<description>If physics is consistant, why would one neutron star be significantly more magnetic than another neutron star, assuming they are both virtually 100% neutrons?  So it would make all the sense in the world to me, from the get-go, that pulsars and magnitars are just variations of the same type of object.  The curiosity is why slowing spinning neutron stars have stronger magnetic fields than fast rotating neutron stars.  Me thinks the rapid rotation of the pulsars in that intense gravity bent space-time situation affects the strength of the magnetic field, perhaps leaking it into another quantum dimension, or perhaps some quantum interaction between the magnitism and gravity waves?</description>

		<description>This event may reflect a red giant binary companion to the neutron star/pulsar/magnetar.  A white dwarf collects material from another star, gradually piling up until it reaches about a meter deep on the Earth-sized object.  Then that layer detonates as a thermonuclear bomb.  We see the flash as a nova.  The white dwarf continues gathering material over the next 100,000 years or so until it goes off as a nova again.

This process eventually increases the mass of the white dwarf until it becomes about 40% more massive than our Sun.  At that time, the entire white dwarf, not just its surface, implodes.  We then see a supernova when it then rebounds a few milliseconds later.  The white dwarf has now shrunk to a neutron star the size of a city.  It still has the mass of the original Earth-sized white dwarf, or the red giant that the white dwarf came from.

If PSR J1846-0258 had a red-giant companion, it would have collected material and occasionally gone nova.  We would not have to invent new physics to explain what we see.  One way to disprove the idea is to look for such a companion.</description>

		<description>&quot;The rotation of the pulsar is also slowing down, suggesting a high magnetic field may be breaking its rotation.&quot;

Shouldn&#039;t that be spelled &quot;braking&quot;?</description>
