A remarkable recent discovery in astrophysics: SN 2024afav, a superluminous supernova, shows unusual variations in its brightness that provide evidence consistent with a newly born magnetar. 🧲🌌
A magnetar is an extremely dense neutron star with an extraordinarily powerful magnetic field. Scientists propose that the observed behavior of SN 2024afav could be explained by a newly formed magnetar surrounded by a precessing disk.
