If you see On The milk method Through a powerful telescope, you will see that there are long tasting near the center of the galaxy that seems to outline its spiral shape. Scientists have the nickname of these structures: “Galaxy bones.” Recently, astronomers found that one of the bones of the Akashiganga is “fractured”, and they believe they have now found a potential culprit: a neutron star that has hit him.
According to NASAThese bones are long long for dynamic particles that spiral with magnetic fields operated through the galaxy. The particles release radio waves, and so are identified using radio telescopes.
Scientists have found many such bones in the galaxy, but most amazingly called the G359.13142-0.20005, also known as the “snake”. This is a 230 -year long tail that has a fracture. It is also one of the brightest people. One of the first explanations was that something was not yet known that the body had disturbed the tension.
A study of Harvard University, which appeared in the journal Monthly Notice of Royal Astronomical SocietyGet out to test this assumption. The research team involved in it received a symbol of a psoriasis, a neutron star rotating fast, like a broken bone in the same region. These stars are extremely dense, and after the explosion of a supermasted star, there are small remains left.
Using NASA Chandra X -ray ObservatoryWhich makes the ground as well as the ground Sect South Africa and the telescopic arms A huge array In New Mexico – the two systems that detect radio waves – scientists found that Pulseer signs appear in the flight. Based on the data of these surroundings, they estimated that the Pulseer affected the bone from 1,609,000 to 3,218,000 kilometers per hour. It is thought that the suspected collision has distorted the magnetic field of the bone, which causes its radio signal to deteriorate.

In the aforementioned picture provided by NASA, the snake can be seen, and there is a body that appears to be interacting with the structure in the middle of its length. It is probably the aforementioned neutron star.
Pulseer is an alternative version of a neutron star where in addition to being compact items, he rotates fast and manufactures a strong magnetic sector. At present, there is no device that can see them directly because of their size and distance, but radio telescopes can detect electromagnetic waves that they emit and hear them into a sound.
