A distant magnetar in the Sculptor Galaxy released an enormous burst of energy equivalent to a billion suns in just 0.16 seconds, marking the most distant such event ever observed and providing new insights into these rare neutron stars.
Researchers have estimated the size and merging velocity of a shock wave in a merging galaxy cluster, revealing an energy release of 2.3 × 10^38 W. By analyzing the temperature distribution of the high-temperature gas, the team calculated the amount of kinetic energy being converted into heat, particle acceleration, and magnetic-field amplification in the shock front. This research provides valuable insights into the understanding of galaxy clusters and their astronomical events.
