There are lots of unknown secrets hidden in this universe that's why astronomers from different countries are always busy to identify any newest object beyond our solar system. Last time European Space Agency (ESA) finds a Neutron star or Pulsar using their X-ray space observatory XMM-NEWTON. The claimed that this pulsar is the brightest and farthest from Earth.
In this Universe, there are so many unknown stellar evolutions are still happening. Astronomers are always tried to detect that incidents which we are still unaware of. Now European Space Agency detects a Pulsar or Neutron star having 1000 time luminous than maximum possibility thought and has the distance of fifty million light years from Earth, that is claimed to be farthermost distant as of now.
The information shared by NASA is that a neutron star can be observed as a pulsar. A neutron star is the imploded core of a massive star created after an explosion of a supernova at the end of their life. Typically a neutron star has a mass of 1.4 times bigger than the Sun.
Neutron stars are characterized as a highly magnetized, rotating stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation. Like a Black hole, this is also the end phase of a stellar evolution.Though it emits a continuous stream of light but as a distant observer, it seems to blink on and off at regular interval like a lighthouse beacon.
The magnetic field around a neutron star is very strong enough which is around trillion times stronger than Earth's magnetic field. The rotational axis and axis of the magnetic field are not aligned. However, this combination of rotation and the magnetic field produced the huge electric potential which greater than one trillion volts.
As per a study, this strong electric field produced light by high-velocity electron within it. There are two ways that this high-velocity electron that can produce light. In first, they produced coherent plasma where electrons are combined and emit radio emission and secondly, electron directly interacts with photons from the magnetic field and produce high energy emission in X-ray or optical or gamma ray wavelengths.
According to ESA, this newest pulsar is discovered by Space observatory named XMM-NEWTON and owned by European Space Agency (ESA). This pulsar actually located in the spiral galaxy NGC 5907 also known as the Knife Edge Galaxy or Splinter Galaxy. They named this pulsar as NGC 5907 X-1.
A report related to their study, ESA stated that according to luminosity this new NGC 5907 X-1 pulsar is breaking their old records where it has 10 greater luminous than previous records. They also said that this pulsar emits the same amount of energy in one second that our sun released in every 3.5 years.
