- Gamma-ray birth cries suggest massive magnetic engines
03-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
A gamma-ray burst observed by NASA's Swift satellite on July 29, 2006, generated an X-ray afterglow that remained detectable to the spacecraft's X-ray Telescope (XRT) for 125 days -- an astonishing long time -- indicating the possible formation of a magnetar. If Chandra or XMM-Newton can see the afterglow later this year, GRB 060729 will break the record for longest observed X-ray afterglow.
