A mystery of 25 years ago has just resolved after this finding. Now we know how supernovae create magnetic fields
A theoretical process has ended up confirming thanks to numerical simulations
On our planet, the magnetic field extends from the nucleus to space and is able to create a layer called Magnetosphere, which protects us from cosmic rays. However, it is not the only magnetic field in the universe, as we will tell you below. For decades, Magnetic fields of Supernovas They were a mystery, whose process It has just been sleepless.
The most powerful magnetic fields in the universe
We have to get closer to the article published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy to tell you everything we know about a investigation In which scientists from the University of Newcastle, the University of Leeds and several French institutions have participated. Thanks to your work, it has been achieved Identify a key process for the formation of low intensity magnetaestows and what is called Dinamo Tayler-Spruit.
Through numerical simulations, scientists have discovered that processes specific in the neutron stars They are capable of Generate magnetic fields. Perhaps, several concepts that we have just appointed do not just square, although you read the explanations of the main author of the study, Andrei Igoshev, you may begin to understand. The doctor ensures that neutron stars are born from supernovae.
When the star layers come off, during the explosion, some fall backwards, causing the neutron star to turn with great speed. This process seems to be essential to create the mechanism known as Dinamo Tayler-Spruit and that he is able to form a Really powerful magnetic field. We are talking about magnetares, neutron stars with magnetic fields so strong that there are thousands of billions of times more powerful than the earth’s magnetic field.
Those fields They are the ones They give the brightness and x -ray emission to the magnetares. When a star presents a less pronounced magnetic field, although also capable of broadcasting X -rays, it is usually called as low intensity magnetaestics. In these cases, the dynamo mechanism is capable of convert plasma movement In those Magnetic fields.
The discovery is so complex, that we have just scratched the surface. At the moment, the Doctor Andrei Igoshev this gathering a new team of researchers at Newcastle University to be able investigate magnetic fields more thoroughly of the neutron stars and delve into a mystery that begins to be resolved 25 years after being found in the cosmos.
