Magnetars

by Lewis Carroll

Magnetar stars are neutron stars with a powerful magnetic field. Its strength near magnetars is many trillions (1013-1015) gauss, which is thousands of times greater than that of ordinary neutron stars, and this value is almost a thousand times greater than that of the Earth’s magnetic field. However, the magnetic field strength of the planet is no more than 0.6 gauss. Sometimes the rotation axes and magnetic fields of magnetars do not coincide. Until the end, the nature and origin of such powerful magnetic fields of magnetars is not clear.
