Look up millisecond pulsars. They have a rotational period of 10 milliseconds or less. The fastest known spinning millisecond pulsar (PSR J1748−2446ad) is spinning at 716hz or 716 times a second! The calculated velocity at the equator is 24% the speed of light. Imagine if we were close enough to observe it with telescopes in detail, it would have to have some weird optical effects. It is 18,000 light years away so that's not possible.

When you thought a living near a magnetar was bad enough... Tbh, what I'd really like to know is what happens to that expelled quark-gluon plasma. Would it form "normal" atoms -- and if so, would it form lighter ones or heavier atoms? Or would it change into some other kind of exotic matter at some point in its evolution into normal elemental matter? Would it even turn into normal matter in such a highly-charged environment?

[@lindaseel9986]

Ok, now you have given me something else to think about at night when I can't sleep. Thank you.

I'm willing to bet after a few seconds the majority of the plasma will cool enough to form protons and neutrons as we know and love them, although those couple of seconds after expulsion may contain a slew of exotic particles as the quarks figure themselves out

[@tigerdragon7783]

It sounds more like that magnetar is orbiting or being orbited by something strong but not (yet) strong enough to force both objects into close orbit. So as one object swings NEAR the other it causes the magnetar to FRB, then as they swing APART this explains why the magnetar can quickly become normal again.

[@peteredwards2318]

The description of magnetar interiors as being superfluidic is so odd to me, because neutron stars are said to contain the densest, most unyeilding substance ever theorised; nuclear pasta, or more properly, degenerate matter. If this is true, how can magnetars become superfluidic? Surely the intense pressure should make any flow within the system utterly impossible?

[@captaincruise8796]

If you think of the strong force interactions within the neutron star, it can be thought of as a single atom of sorts, in which it’s quarks and gluons are free to travel about the interior. At least that’s my understanding.

[@seanmadson8524]

I assume the various forces of the magnetar are what causes such a dense material to form, so presumably, such forces would be equally capable of manipulating the shape and configuration of this nuclear pasta

[@stevenkarnisky411]

The greeting is always friendly and uplifting. Sometimes the content is mind blowing and scary! It is reasonable to be wary of anything potentially dangerous, but magnetars, neutron stars and black holes are truly terrifying, and unreasonable. How can anything that large spin that fast? How can something shred one's very atoms? Thanks for another mind blower, Anton!

[@gcm4312]

0:50 why would the duration and the apparent distance from the source have any relation to the size of the source object? edit: ok, did a bit of reading on the topic and it's a factor of the size impacting how the signals would look to a receiver that is fast enough to detect variability in a signal that had to travel the length of the object (considering the source emitting signals at the same time from the portion closes to us and furthest away). This would appear as a "smearing" of the signal. It would also be more apparent considering the scaterring of EM frequencies due to interstellar medium (ref: dispersion measurement)

[@dhausmig]

Because the duration was less than 1 second it would tend to indicate the transmitter was less than one light second (300000km) in size.

[@gcm4312]

@@dhausmig I still don't understand... if you have a continuous signal it has nothing to do with the size of the emitter.

[@bigdogkool2546]

I have been into this for some years. I like this explanation the best. Some sort of interaction disrupts its spin.

[@Frisbieinstein]

This has long been known (or at least, believed) that most pulsar glitches are due to the superfluid core re-connecting with the metal crust. That was the first clue that the cores were superfluid. 1980's maybe.

[@dennisrankin]

my theory is that it is in a fluid state, not a solid, and it is changing shape enough to slow down and speed up.

[@SteveSiegelin]

If that truly is the patterns of the repeating fast radio burst then it could be a quasar with a strange wobble in its spin kind of like the Earth has. For some reason I get the picturing of a jet with one jet spinning faster than the other one due to the wobble of the what pulsar or magnetar. . . I've also been playing way too much elite dangerous lately and when I heard this I thought about the solar system scanner.

[@davidponseigo8811]

Death by Magnetar sounds kinda cool.

I saw some speculation online that Magnitar magnetic fields accelerating plasmas in just the right way might create naturally occurring versions of hypothesized positive-matter Alcubierre drives, providing the extreme energy and conditions to accelerate matter to FTL for short sprints. Unlikely, but it would be cool if some FRBs were the "sonic booms" associated with something like that.

[@mattyounce2486]

Totally in line with temperatures hotter than the core of our sun Alcubierre drives. Suppose a magnitar with volcanic geysers is quite a source for speculative nuance so I for one thought your comment was special yet FRB’s attributed to celestial bodies at play take the notion of sonic booms and excuse the doubt, to make believe standards. Magnitars forever incognito to today’s understanding probably are as mysterious and exotic as you describe yet when they are represented as too good to be true they become fictional characters in the cosmos.

FRB might be the magnetar slamming the brakes? Magnetar rotation has homeostasis mechanisms. Cool

[@quistador7]

Maybe the Magnatar contracts suddenly, causing it to speed up like when you pull your arms in real fast. And then it slowly extends back to normal size. Would explain the speed up and slow down. But if normal ones take a long time, maybe the FRB magnatars are just that much more violent

see... time dilation? Do we know the gravitacional field those objects were subjected to? The bursts are fast to us... we don't know how long did they take on the object's time frame.

[@douglaswilkinson5700]

At 3kps the kinematic time dilation is in microseconds (cf Lorentz factor.) The gravitational time dilation is significant at 23.5%. This means that on the surface of the NS one year would pass but one Earth 1.31 or ~1 year and 4 months would pass.

@@douglaswilkinson5700 thank you for your calculations

[@user-gn2qj5jr2z]

i get confused by how an object can lose energy but not rotational momentum… if the layers are rotating at different rates but the surface and core keep trading rotational speed. well it eventually settle into a single rotational speed with no energy left to lose?

[@lorenwilson8128]

Perhaps the magnetar had some normal matter on the surface that then was converted into neutrons, occupying less volume. The matter moves closer to the center of mass, and since momentum is conserved, the magnetar's rotation has to increase slightly.

[@PrimordialOracleOfManyWorlds]

super-fantastically fascinating! has anyone discovered a binary magnetar system?

[@scottparker1866]

Highly doubtful. I have not ever seen that claimed, and it would be unusually rare and maybe impossible. A magnetars lifespan is only estimated at 10,000-50,000 years. Usually binary star systems take billions of years to finally come close enough to merge. Magnetars are thought to start off as soft gamma repeaters and after ~ 10,000 years, they then turn into anomalous X-ray pulsars, after which 10,000-30,000 years later they lose its magnetism activity, and its strong X-ray emission cease. Any supernova that leaves behind a magnetar remnant in a binary system should kick its companion star furthur away. And that kick would happen twice. A possibility might be in a 3 or 4 sun system (there have been a few 4 sun systems discovered), or with some extremly fast black holes rotating close to the massive galactic black hole in the center of galaxies that somehow forces two magnetars together in less than 50,000 years when it should take (at minimum) 100's of millions of years.
