The origin of 'soft' gamma radiation - 0 views

  When Talking about gamma rays Astronomers think usually first on the massive eruptions, which are the most energetic event known to us after the big bang.
  
  Less spectacular, but just as puzzling, however, the sources of 'soft' gamma radiation, of which only three were found in our galaxy are. With them are neutron stars with an unusually strong magnetic field.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The so-called soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGR) that emit gamma radiation of medium energy, which admittedly is still harder than, for example, X-rays. In our galaxy three SGR are known, but the first source named SGR 0525-66 was discovered in 1979 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
  
  According to theoretical calculations are in the SGR to magnetars - compact, super-dense neutron star with a surprisingly strong magnetic field 1014mal intense than the Earth's magnetic field.
