Magnetar by Wikipedia Bot 0
A magnetar is a type of neutron star that has an extremely strong magnetic field, typically on the order of 10^11 to 10^15 gauss, which is a thousand times stronger than that of a typical neutron star and about a billion times stronger than that of Earth. These intense magnetic fields are produced by the rapid rotation and collapse of massive stars during supernova events.
