ISLAMABAD – In 2020, astronomers added a new member to an exclusive family of alien stars, with the detection of magnetar.Magnetars are a type of neutron star, which is an incredibly dense object mostly made up of full-pack neutrons. They come from the falling heart of a big star during a supernova. What sets magnetars apart from the rest of their intriguing stellar race is that they have the most powerful magnetic fields in the universe. On March 12, 2020, astronauts discovered a new magnet with NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Telescope. After follow-up observations, researchers concluded that this object, known as Swift J1818.0-1607 or J1818 for a short time, was specific for one or two additional reasons., It is probably the youngest magnetar that is known to be around 500 years old. Second, it also spins faster than any previously discovered magnet, going around once every 1.4 seconds.Observations with NASA’s J1818 Chandra X-ray Observatory less a month after Swift discovered the first high-resolution view of this object in X-ray astronauts. Chandra’s data revealed a point source where the magnetar was located. This is surrounded by diffuse X-ray scattering, possibly caused by X-rays revealing nearby dust.
