This is an unusual hybrid with great speed and a powerful magnetic field.

x-ray Space telescope XMM-Newton captures the momentum from the youngest of the famous astronomers pulsars in our galaxy, according to the European space Agency.

Pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star that appeared as a result of supernova explosions at the end of the evolution of stars. They become a source of periodic bursts of radiation. Scientists have discovered about 3 thousand pulsars in the milky Way.

Swift J1818.0-1607, whose age is estimated at 240 years, was opened orbital Observatory Swift in March 2020. This is a hybrid that combines the properties of pulsars and magnetars. It quickly rotates, making one revolution for 1.36 seconds, and has a very strong magnetic field — about 70 quadrillion times stronger than earth’s.
