Astonishing Discovery: Vela Pulsar’s Unprecedented Energy Explosion Challenges Traditional Theories in Astrophysics

2023-10-09 02:11:00
Astronomers expressed their astonishment that the Vela pulsar unleashed on Earth an energy explosion of 20 trillion electron volts, which is the highest energy gamma ray ever observed from a pulsar. This new phenomenon challenges the… Scientists captured it and published it in the scientific journal “Nature Astronomy”, the current understanding of pulsars and their energy emissions. The “Vela pulsar” is a type of neutron star, consisting of photons with energies measured higher than a teraelectronvolt, and it is said to be located about 1000 meters away. A light-year from Earth, and its diameter extends about 12 miles. The study’s co-researcher, Arash Janati Atay, a researcher at the National Center for Scientific Research, said: “We have discovered gamma ray photons of up to 20 TeV from the Vela pulsar.” And stars. Pulsars are the remains of dead stars that have exploded to form supercolonies, emitting beams of electromagnetic radiation visible on Earth at regular intervals. While they are known to be incredibly dense and energetic, the exceptional explosion of the Vela pulsar, the last, left… Experts are confused. Previously, the existence of a pulsar was considered relatively normal, but the emission of the Vela pulsar is 200 times more active than any radiation previously observed from this body, prompting a reconsideration of the traditional theory that attributes radiation to… Fast electrons, which are created and emitted from the pulsar’s magnetosphere. Astronomers are currently exploring alternative explanations for this enormous energy, including the possibility of particles from the Vela pulsar being pushed out of its magnetosphere or the presence of magnetic fields in unexpected regions. This does not challenge The discovery not only pioneers the prevailing understanding of pulsars, but also offers the potential to deepen our knowledge of other magnetized objects, such as black hole magnetospheres.
