A Magnetar, a very small, compact neutron star that periodically emits light.

A Magnetar is a special kind of a pulsar, which is a very small, compact neutron star that periodically emits light. Magnetar are extremely powerful magnetic stars. In fact, they are the most magnetic objects known in the universe. They do not last long as magnetars, maybe only 30 000 years, after that the magnetic field fades. However, while a magnetar is active, it can produce magnetic fields with the intensity of 10^15 Tesla. The strongest magnet produced on Earth is only 40 Tesla. Strange things go on around magnetars.
