An article published in the journal "Nature Astronomy" reports an explanation for the abrupt slowdown in the rotation of the magnetar cataloged as SGR 1935+2154 and its attribution to a sort of volcano that ejected a kind of wind into space. A team of researchers used X-ray data from ESA's XMM-Newton space telescope and NASA's NICER instrument to analyze changes in the magnetar.
