The Biggest Starquake Ever

The biggest starquake ever recorded resulted in oscillations in the X-ray emission from the shaking neutron star. Astronomers hope these oscillations will crack the mystery of what neutron stars are made of. • On December 27, 2004, several satellites and telescopes from around the world detected an explosion on the surface of SGR 1806-20, a neutron star 50,000 light years away. The resulting flash of energy -- which lasted only a tenth of a second -- released more energy than the Sun emits in 150,000 years. • Combing through data from NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, a team of astronomers has identified oscillations in the X-ray emission of SGR 1806-20. These rapid fluctuations, which began 3 minutes after the starquake and trailed off 10 minutes later, had a frequency of 94.5 Hertz. • This is near the frequency of the 22nd key of a piano, F sharp, said Tomaso Belloni from Italy's National Institute of Astrophysics. • Just as geologists study the Earth's interior using seismic waves after an earthquake, astrophysicists can use the X-ray oscillations to probe this distant neutron star. • This explosion was akin to hitting the neutron star with a gigantic hammer, causing it to ring like a bell, said Richard Rothschild from the University of California, San Diego. Now the question is: what does the frequency of the neutron star's oscillations -- the tone produced by the ringing bell -- mean? • Neutron stars form when a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel to burn. Under the weight of its own gravity, the star's core collapses into either a dense neutron star, or an even denser black hole. • рджреЛрд╕реНрддреЛрдВ рдХреНрдпрд╛ рдЖрдкрдХреЛ рдкрддрд╛ рд╣реИ 27 December, рд╕рд╛рд▓ 2004 рдХреЛ рдПрдХ рд╕реНрдЯрд╛рд░рдХреНрд╡реЗрдХ рдпрд╛рдирд┐ рддрд╛рд░реЛрдХрд╛рдХрдореНрдк рд╣реБрдЖ рдерд╛? рдЬрд┐рд╕рд╕реЗ earth рдХрд╛ рд╕рд╛рд░реЗ radio communications рдХреБрдЫ рд╕рдордп рдХреЗ рд▓рд┐рдП рдЕрдЪрд╛рдирдХ рдмрдВрдж рд╣реЛ рдЧрдпрд╛ рдерд╛? рдпреЗ starquake SGR 1806 20 magnetar рдореЗрдВ рд╣реБрдЖ рдерд╛, рдФрд░ рдЗрд╕рдХреЗ рдХрд╛рд░рдг рдЬреЛ рд╡рд┐рд╕реНрдлреЛрдЯ рд╣реБрдЖ рдерд╛ рд╡реЛ рд╣рдорд╛рд░реЗ solar system рдХреЗ рдмрд╣рд╛рд░ рд╕реЗ рдЖрддрд╛ рд╣реБрдЖ рдЕрдм рддрдХ рдХрд╛ рд╕рдмрд╕реЗ рдЪрдордХреАрд▓рд╛ рд╡рд┐рд╕реНрдлреЛрдЯ рдерд╛ред рд╣рд╛рд▓рд╛рдХрд┐ 50,000 рдкреНрд░рдХрд╛рд╢-рд╡рд░реНрд╖ рдХреА рджреВрд░реА рдкрд░ рднреА, рдЗрд╕рдХреА Gamma Rays рдФрд░ рдПрдХреНрд╕-рд░реЗ рдХреЗ burst рдиреЗ рдкреГрдереНрд╡реА рдХреЗ рдЖрдпрдирдордВрдбрд▓ рдХреЛ disturbed рдХрд░ рджрд┐рдпрд╛ рдерд╛ред рдореИрдЧреНрдиреЗрдЯрд░ рдПрдХ super dense neutron рд╕реНрдЯрд╛рд░ рд╣реИ, рдЬрд┐рд╕рдХрд╛ рдЪреБрдВрдмрдХреАрдп рдХреНрд╖реЗрддреНрд░ рдкреГрдереНрд╡реА рдХреА рддреБрд▓рдирд╛ рдореЗрдВ рд╣рдЬрд╛рд░реЛрдВ рдорд┐рд▓рд┐рдпрди рдЧреБрдирд╛ рдЕрдзрд┐рдХ рддреАрд╡реНрд░ рд╣реЛрддрд╛ рд╣реИред рд╡реИрдЬреНрдЮрд╛рдирд┐рдХреЛрдВ рдХрд╛ рдорд╛рдирдирд╛ рд╣реИ рдХрд┐, SGR 1806 20 рдХреА рдКрд░реНрдЬрд╛ рдХрд╛ рд╡рд┐рд╢рд╛рд▓ рд╡рд┐рд╕реНрдлреЛрдЯ, рд╡рд╣реА starquake рдХреА рд╡рдЬрд╣ рд╕реЗ рд╣реБрдЖ рдерд╛. • тАк@AyEsciEncE_WorldтАм тАк@AyE_sciEncEтАм
