A decade of observations cast doubt on the typical magnetar origin story, at least as it relates to SGR 0501+4516.

"Magnetar birth rates and formation scenarios are among the most pressing questions in high-energy astrophysics." ...

A magnetar known to scientists for 17 years might not have come from a supernova, like the rest of its ultra-magnetic brethren. But where did it form, then? The Hubble Space Telescope is on the case.

For the first time, scientists have managed to spot a lonely black hole drifting through space thanks to its gravity ...

Bothell-area resident Jeff Thornburg saw an opportunity to develop a new type of spacecraft. One, he says is more maneuverable, more capable, and more rapid.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a magnetar a supermagnetic neutron star speeding across our galaxy. Its name? SGR ...

Highly magnetic neutron star is wandering our Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have tracked a rare and fast-moving magnetar – called SGR 0501+4516 – as it speeds ...
