Neutron Stars, Pulsars, and Magnetars are the most extreme objects in the Universe that aren't Black Holes. Their extreme densities make neutron stars the densest solid bodies in the Universe ultra-powerful magnetic fields. When these fields sweep along our line of sight, we see them as Pulsars. Some Pulsars have have extremely strong magnetic fields. We call these objects Magnetars. And when a Magnetar has a star quake, the most violent explosions this side of a Supernova take place. 🔔 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/christianready?sub_confirmation=1 🖖 Share this video with a fellow space traveler: https://youtu.be/VsliMyrvGDI 🔴 Watch my most recent upload: https://goo.gl/QbRcE2 🚀 Help me improve the channel by joining the community on Patreon https://patreon.com/launchpadastro 🚀 Check out Launch Pad merchandise! https://teespring.com/stores/launchpadastro Disclaimer: Some of these links go to one of my websites and some are affiliate links where I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you. ✅ Let's connect: For business inquiries - chris AT christianready DOT com Twitter - @launchpadastro Instagram - @launchpadastro Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LaunchPadAstronomy/ Discord - https://discord.gg/yChAuUe 📭 c/o Christian Ready P.O.

Astronomers have used accurate timing of pulsar signals to determine the mass of a tiny neutron star and its white dwarf companion, showing that the neutron star is the most massive ever identified. However this is more than an exercise in finding new record holders, neutron stars are held up from collapsing into a black hole by quantum mechanics and nuclear physics, and these extreme conditions are at the limits of our theoretical understanding. So finding the upper mass limit of neutron stars gives important information on the conditions inside nuclear matter.

Scientists have observed a collision of two of the universe's most extreme objects. And a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa makes an important step forward. SciShow has a spinoff podcast!

But perhaps nothing stranger than the stuff at the core of neutron stars. Gravity and pressure are responsible for everything we see around us. Because it's the pressure that fused together atoms in the core of stars that eventually produced the carbon, oxygen, and other elements that keep us and everything alive. Much bigger stars went supernova, collapsing down under gravity and creating even heavier elements. Even bigger stars collapse down so far, they create a singularity, ripping a black hole into the fabric of the universe. But there's a slightly smaller size of star that doesn't manage to go black hole, but does crush down the atoms of its core into neutrons, creating a neutron star, the densest objects in the universe. But it doesn't stop there, because at the core of neutron stars, the up and down quarks that make up neutrons can fuse with each other to create a much heavier type of quark, a strange quark. The strange matter that is made up of strange quarks has the ability to turn any other type of matter into strange matter. This means that if quark stars collide and explode, they could scatter bits of strange matter, or strangelets, across space. And if any of those strangelets were to collide with Earth, it could spell the end of our entire planet.

Underneath the crust of spinning neutron stars, there’s a material that is not only strong, but looks like pasta? Nuclear pasta to be exact. Here’s what else scientists know. The James Webb Space Telescope Is Delayed (Again)! What Is Happening? - https://youtu.be/KiHR1wdRdug Read More: The Elasticity of Nuclear Pasta https://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.02557.pdf “The breaking strain of materials in neutron star (NS) crusts are relevant for a variety of electromagnetic and gravitational wave phenomena. Crust breaking may occur in magnetar outbursts, resonant crust shattering in NS mergers, and in the starquake model for pulsar glitches. Likewise, the shear modulus of crust matter may affect the oscillation frequency of magnetar flares, the damping of r-modes, and determine the height and lifetime of mountains on a NS.” Nuclear Pasta In Neutron Stars May Be The Strongest Material In The Universe https://www.sciencenews.org/article/nuclear-pasta-neutron-stars-may-be-strongest-material-universe?tgt=nr “About a kilometer below the surface of a neutron star, atomic nuclei are squeezed together so close that they merge into clumps of nuclear matter, a dense mixture of neutrons and protons. These as-yet theoretical clumps are thought to be shaped like blobs, tubes or sheets, and are named after their noodle look-alikes, including gnocchi, spaghetti and lasagna.” LIGO: Sources and Types of Gravitational Waves https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/page/gw-sources “Continuous gravitational waves are produced by a single spinning massive object, like an extremely dense star called a neutron star.

An object called GRB 150101B has been studied using the Chandra X-Ray telescope. It was probably generated by a neutron-star merger. -- Full Story: https://www.space.com/42158-another-neutron-star-crash-detected.html Credit: NASA/CXC/A. Hobart

On October 16, 2017, astronomers excitedly reported the first detection of electromagnetic waves, or light, from a gravitational wave source. Now, a year later, researchers are announcing the existence of a cosmic relative to that historic event. The discovery was made using data from a host of telescopes including NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The object of the new study, called GRB 150101B, was first reported as a gamma-ray burst detected by Fermi in January 2015. This detection and follow-up observations show that this new object shares remarkable similarities to the neutron star merger and gravitational wave source discovered by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, and its European counterpart Virgo in 2017 known as GW170817. The latest study concludes that these two separate objects may, in fact, be related. The researchers think both GRB 150101B and GW170817 were most likely produced by the same type of event: the merger of two neutron stars. This is a catastrophic collision that generated a narrow jet, or beam, of high-energy particles. The jet produced a short, intense burst of gamma rays, a high-energy flash that can last only seconds. This was followed by an afterglow in optical light that lasted a few days and X-ray emission that lasted much longer. Scientists think both of these events involved kilonovas, that is, powerful explosions that release large amounts of energy and can produce elements like gold, platinum and uranium. Understanding these explosions helps astronomers trace our cosmic ancestry. There is still a lot to learn about these events, but Chandra is poised to help in this new era of combined gravitational wave and electromagnetic investigations into our Universe.

Scientists understand gravity pretty well when it comes to two objects, but add a third, and you’ve got chaos—a system that’s impossible to explain with our simplest equations. But you also have a way to test the limits of Einstein’s theory of gravity. You’re probably aware of the fact that there are a lot of outstanding questions about our universe—like what is dark energy, what is dark matter, and why can’t one unified physics theory explain both the biggest and smallest objects in the universe? https://gizmodo.com/einsteins-theory-of-gravity-holds-up-on-test-of-a-three-1827319579 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

The spectacular merger of two neutron stars that generated gravitational waves announced last fall likely did something else: birthed a black hole. This newly spawned black hole would be the lowest mass black hole ever found. A new study analyzed data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory taken in the days, weeks, and months after the detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, or LIGO, and gamma rays by NASA's Fermi mission on August 17, 2017. While nearly every telescope at professional astronomers' disposal observed this source, known officially as GW170817, X-rays from Chandra are critical for understanding what happened after the two neutron stars collided. From the LIGO data astronomers have a good estimate that the mass of the object resulting from the neutron star merger is about 2.7 times the mass of the Sun. This puts it on a tightrope of identity, implying it is either the most massive neutron star ever found or the lowest mass black hole ever found. The previous record holders for the latter are no less than about four or five times the Sun's mass. The Chandra observations are telling, not only for what they revealed, but also for what they did not. If the neutron stars merged and formed a heavier neutron star, then astronomers would expect it to spin rapidly and generate a very strong magnetic field. This, in turn, would have created an expanding bubble of high-energy particles that would result in bright X-ray emission. Instead, the Chandra data show levels of X-rays that are a factor of a few to several hundred times lower than expected for a rapidly spinning, merged neutron star and the associated bubble of high-energy particles, implying a black hole likely formed instead.

Neutron stars are the ultra dense cores of massive stars that collapse and undergo a supernova explosion. This neutron star is located within the remains of a supernova — known as 1E 0102.2-7219 (E0102 for short) — in the Small Magellanic Cloud, located 200,000 light years from Earth. E0102's neutron star is different from most others because it has both a low magnetic field and does not have a star in orbit around it. Its remnant is also unusual because it contains high levels of oxygen like two other well-known supernova remnants, Cassiopeia A and Puppis A. These oxygen-rich supernova remnants are important for understanding how massive stars fuse lighter elements into heavier ones before they explode. Future observations of E0102 at X-ray, optical, and radio wavelengths should help astronomers understand the origin of this lonely neutron star.
