An unusual neutron star found in the “neutron star cemetery” in the Milky Way

A new international team at the University of Sydney has discovered an unusual radio signal emitted by an intensely spinning neutron star, completing one revolution every 76 seconds transmitted by RT.

And the star is so unique that it isn’t in the “cemetery of neutron stars”, where it wouldn’t be expected anyway.

The location of neutron stars remnants, their rotation rate is fast, scientists recently discovered a neutron star in the “neutron star graveyard” region of the universe, spinning, once every 76 seconds.

This discovery was made by the MeerTRAP team using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, which was observing the Vela-X 1 region of the Milky Way, about 1,300 light-years from Earth, an observation called the “cemetery of neutron stars”, because scientists did not find from Before these stars are in it, a version of the results were published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

The star was initially discovered from a single pulse that occurred on September 27, 2020.

Neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of explosions.

A group of radio-emitting neutron stars with rotation periods from mid-second to tens of seconds. Its radio emissions are expected to cease.

However, the new discovery is unlike anything seen so far. Rotating-period ferromagnetic ferromagnetism, strong ferromagnetism, 75.88-s rotation period, characteristic age of 5.3 million years, and narrow pulse duty cycle.

Lead researcher Dr. Manisha Kaleb, who previously worked at the University of Manchester at the University of Sydney, said: “Surprisingly, we only detect state science from this source in 0.5% of its rotation period, meaning that fortunately the beam intersects with the Earth. Stars. that may exist.

Flying on the discovered neutron star named PSR J0901-4046, it challenges scientists to the birth and evolution of neutron stars, because it has a component of seven different types of pulses (slow, double peak, partial peak radiation), split peak, triple peak), watch It may be a viewing signal by a known physical mechanism.

“This is the beginning of neutron stars,” says Dr. Caleb.
