Unravelling A Cosmic Mystery: Scientists Discover The Universe's Strongest Magnetic Field Producing ultra-strong magnetic fields in neutron star mergers [ Daniel Price's home page ][ Stephan Rosswog's home page ] [ Exeter astrophysics ][ International University Bremen ] Dr Daniel Price, of the School of Physics at The University of Exeter, said: " We have managed to simulate, for the first time, what happens to the magnetic field when neutron stars collide, and it seems possible that the magnetic field produced could be sufficient to spark the creation of Gamma-ray bursts. Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosions we can detect but until recently little to nothing has been known about how they are generated. Prof Stephan Rosswog, of the International University, Bremen, Germany, adds: "Even more incredible is that the magnetic field strengths reached in the simulations are just lower limits on the strengths that may be actually be produced in nature.
