Supermagnetic Neutron Star Surprises Scientists, Forces Revision of Theories - NRAO press release |
| Astronomers using radio telescopes from around the world have discovered a spinning neutron star with a superpowerful magnetic field -- called a magnetar -- doing things no magnetar has been seen to do before. The strange behavior has forced them to scrap previous theories about radio pulsars and
promises to give new insights on the physics behind these extreme objects. |

XMM-Newton gives new insight into neutron stars - ESA news release |
| XMM-Newton has given astronomers and physics a valuable new insight into the most exotic stars in the Universe. Known as neutron stars, the composition of these extremely dense stellar objects has always been something of a puzzle. Now, XMM-Newton has revealed that they almost certainly resemble over-sized atomic nuclei. |
