Heavy, highly magnetic star may be first magnetar precursor we’ve seen ( arstechnica.com )
Magnetars are some of the most extreme objects we know about, with magnetic fields so strong that chemistry becomes impossible in their vicinity. They’re neutron stars with a superfluid interior that includes charged particles, so it’s easy to understand how a magnetic dynamo is maintained to support that magnetic field. But...
