What is a magnetar?

A magnetar is a neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field, the decay of which powers the emission of copious amounts of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-rays and gamma-rays. The theory regarding these objects was formulated by Robert Duncan and Christopher Thompson in 1992, but the first recorded burst of gamma rays thought to have been from a magnetar was on March 5, 1979. During the following decade, the magnetar hypothesis has become widely accepted as a likely explanation for soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars. To make this answer simple the Earth's magnetic field is roughly 1 gauss a typical neutron star is upwards of 1000 gauss and a magnetar is 1000x more powerful


What would happen if a magnetar was next to Earth?

In all likelihood you wouldn't be around to read the answer. Magnetars produce an amazing amount of X and gamma rays, that our Earths atmosphere wouldn't be able to deflect. So we would all be dead.

What are the key differences between a magnetar and a black hole?

A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field, while a black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Magnetars are made of dense neutron-rich material, while black holes are formed from the collapse of massive stars.
