    An artist’s impression of HD 45166, an unusually magnetic star, exhibiting how intense winds of particles blowing away from the star are trapped by the magnetic discipline

    ESO/L. Calcada

    A new type of star will be the answer to a cosmic thriller. After a century of examine, astronomers have lastly labored out why a star referred to as HD 45166 seems to be so strange, and it may very well be the important thing to understanding the place curious stars referred to as magnetars come from.

    HD 45166 is positioned in a binary system about 3000 mild years away and is a type of object referred to as a Wolf-Rayet star, also referred to as a helium star as a result of it has blown away its outer layers of hydrogen to disclose the underlying helium. But it has by no means seemed fairly like every other Wolf-Rayet star we have ever seen. “This star was known to be weird for about 100 years,” says Tomer Shenar on the University of Amsterdam within the Netherlands. “It didn’t make any sense – it really contradicted theories, so it deserved more scrutiny.”

    Shenar and his colleagues have now made a collection of new observations of the star, digging into the spectrum of its mild to study extra about the way it works. They found that it has an awfully highly effective magnetic discipline, stronger than that of every other star of its dimension that has been measured.

    The outflows of materials that make HD 45166 look so strange are in all probability really trapped in its magnetic discipline, not flowing away like in regular Wolf-Rayet stars. “What you would see up close is mostly material trapped in arcs going between the poles of the star and colliding in the middle,” says Shenar. “You’d see this thick ball of gas, and sometimes piercing through this you’d see the actual star.”

    These highly effective fields imply that when this star collapses in on itself in a few million years, it can probably change into a magnetar, that are neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields within the universe. About 10 per cent of neutron stars are magnetars, however how precisely they type has been a thriller for many years. If stars like HD 45166 do finally flip into magnetars, that thriller is lastly solved.

    The subsequent step for Shenar and his staff is twofold: by persevering with to watch the binary system for a few extra years, they are going to get a higher deal with on the star’s properties and therefore its eventual destiny. They additionally plan to seek for extra of these magnetised helium stars – their calculations point out that there must be a whole bunch in our galaxy. If they’ll discover extra at totally different phases of stellar evolution, they could lastly be capable to nail down how magnetars actually type.
