GW faculty discover new star
A group of astrophysicists from GW and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center have recently detected a new kind of neuron star called a magnetar. The star has the most powerful large-scale magnetic field yet detected in the universe.
With the aid of NASA’s satellite, physics doctoral candidate Alaa Ibrahim and physics department chair William Parke were able to identify the cosmic object. The results are published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. More information about the discovery is available at http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov.
