These objects, of which only thirty are known, suffer violent eruptions that are still little known due to their unexpected nature and their duration of barely tenths of a second. Detecting them is a challenge for science and technology.<\/p>\n<p>An international scientific team with outstanding participation from the University of Valencia has published recently in the journal Nature the study of the eruption of a magnetar in detail: they have managed to measure oscillations \u2013 pulses \u2013 in the brightness of the magnetar during its most violent moments. These episodes are a crucial component in understanding giant magnetar eruptions. It is a question long debated during the past 20 years that today has an answer, if there are high-frequency oscillations in the magnetars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An international scientific group with outstanding Valencian participation has managed to measure for the first time oscillations in the brightness of a neutron star \u2013 magnetar \u2013 during its most violent moments.
