"A newly discovered star may give us clues to magnetars, how they work"
https://phys.org/news/2023-08-star-clues-mysterious-magnetars.html
"A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field. The magnetic-field decay powers the emission of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-rays and gamma rays."
I'm ofc still on record for having said I want to be a neutron star when I grow up.
Tuesday morning at #JSM2023 and we have two talks about continuous #GravitatiionalWaves. Unfortunately they're in simultaneous sessions. So you have your pick between me talking in the topic contributed session "Pulling Signal out of Noise for Data-Driven Discoveries in Astronomy" or Alan Knee in the invited session "The True North Strong and ... Amazing at Astrostatistics!" #LIGO #Virgo #KAGRA #ContinuousWaves #astrostatistics #NeutronStars #JSM

This is the best word picture of the formation of #supernovas and #neutronstars
I especially like the concept of using "cold atom experiments as analog #quantum #computers" to study the #vortices which occur in ultra-cold #gases below the Fermi temperature.
Sounds a little like trying to model the earth's atmosphere when thermodynamic properties are goosed by #climatechange

Interesting. Freeman Dyson's paper, "Gravitational Machines".

And you thought #NeutronStars were strange enough already.

#Kilonova: When #NeutronStars Collide
"#Kilonovas get their names from the fact that they are 1000 times brighter than a #Nova. This does mean that they are about 1 tenth to 1 hundredth the #Brightness of a #Supernova, and because of how they form they are incredibly interesting indeed."

Astronomers have spotted the first system destined to one day go kilonova when its #neutronstars collide. I spoke to Noel Richardson about his findings and the Fong Group’s Jillian Rastinejad about the importance of observing a kilonova progenitor. #astronomy #space #scicomm https://physicsworld.com/a/doomed-to-explode-in-a-kilonova-rare-star-system-is-discovered-by-astronomers/

A somewhat belated #Introduction post.
I'm a numerical relativist at the University of Southampton, UK, in the Gravity section of our Applied Maths group.
I'm interested in nonlinear simulations of relativistic matter, neutron stars, gravitational waves, and the linked maths and physics issues of what "good enough" means for numerical calculations of complex behaviour.

‘Perfect explosion’: merger of neutron stars creates spherical cosmic blast
The explosion, called a kilonova, created a rapidly expanding fireball of luminous matter before collapsing to form a black hole
