  • Why is this video teaching people there is a magnetar inside the crab nebula? There is a pulsar at the core of this nebulae, not a magnetar!

  • @LegoMinifigureMan oh, ok. Thanks

  • @VicTheMouth No, that's pretty much it.

  • How exactly is a magnetar different than other neutron stars, I know it has a hyper-intense magnetic field, but is there another difference?

  • @jawbreaker2050 you do know that there a roughly 17 types of neutron star, all completely different and independent of each other, which is why each one is classified differently and are not determined by the axis whatsoever, its all about gamma rays, x-rays, magnetic fields and rotational periods! When you look into the crab nebula you will not find a magnetar you will find an optical pulsar, this is fact and that 'is' whats there, nothing else!

  • from what i know ,a pulsar can be any of the class of neutron stars whose magnetic axis "tip's off" from the rotational axis of the star due to its high density and mass, so it's is theoretically possible even for a magnetar to emit radiations at an axis apart from the rotational axis , which is exactly the case here

  • first?

  • ¿Que? ¿La caca no esta aqui?

  • second!!! :D!!! thanks for the video ;)!!
