It was probably the first transistor radio with this feature.

SGR 1806-20 is a pulsar in the constellation Sagittarius.

Another theory proposes that the variability is intrinsic to the magnetar itself.

It came from a magnetar—a neutron star with an enormous magnetic field—50,000 light years away.

The discovery of the magnetar's former companion elsewhere in the cluster helps solve the mystery of how a star that started off so massive could become a magnetar, rather than collapse into a black hole.

Another class of neutron star, known as the magnetar, exists.

At the centrer of the cosmic cloud in this photograph lies a tiny magnetar.

For that reason, you wouldn’t really favor the magnetar model,” Bannister says.

This artist's impression shows the magnetar in the very rich and young star cluster Westerlund 1.

My star, the one in my story, became what is known as a magnetar.
