Interesting Engineering is a cutting edge, leading community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science.
The researchers think that infrared light particles from the poles of the pulsar are boosted to gamma-ray energies by fast electrons.
“These dead stars are almost entirely made up of neutrons and are incredibly dense: a teaspoon of their material has a mass of more than five billion tonnes, or about 900 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza,” said Emma de Oña Wilhelmi, the co-author of this new study from Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany.
To the researchers' surprise, the fresh measurements revealed a "new radiation component" with energy exceeding tens of tera-electronvolts, which is even higher than previously known.
