Magnetars are neutron stars with intense magnetic fields, perhaps the most intense of any object in the Universe. A burst detected on 5 March 1979 led to the working concept of the magnetar, officially announced in the 21 May 1998 issue of Nature.
Magnetar SGR 1806-20--a real whopper--made it to #17 in Bob Berman's 50 Weirdest Objects in the Cosmos; seen on 27 December 2004, it emitted more energy in 0.1 second than our Sun released in 100,000 years. According to Victoria Kaspi of McGill University, "The 2004 burst changed our ionosphere from night to day. Some fishermen in the Arctic saw a sudden aurora at that moment."

Re: Magnetars
A beautifully balanced magnetar is 1I161348-5055. Is it because of this balance that is has already acquired a spin of 6.7 days? The web info from ESA says it it is induced by a magnetic field that could not be unless assisted by dust or secondary, because it would require the magnetic field to be impossibly large. SGR 0502 + 4516 in this ESA paper says supplied as much energy to Earth as solar flares tho across the galaxy.
This is a powerful concept and could indeed be the source of the electric universe except energy not channeled but distributed across cosmic space doesn't fit. And if it was connected via magnetic ropes then we would surely see the streamers of energy lighting up the recipients on a row, would we not? Only 5 magnetars of the red, a dozen all together known in all Milky Way: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 080312.htm

It would seem that magnetars degrade quickly but the decension is not delineated. May we assume that in the electric universe theory that a visible magnetar has too much energy to be channeled via 'magnetic ropes' and can only be part of the electric universe when it become 'invisible' or 'dead' to our telescopes?
NASA has launched the Van Allen satellite to explore the van allen belts 'mysterious' events of swelling and becoming one instead of two. One makes the connection between the enlargement of the Van Allen belts and the heating of the Earth, an episode of which we are currently experiencing.
I have speculated that our heating events are related to being exposed to neutrinos introduced by an anti-matter LT starbit briefly entering and then exiting the Oort cloud. I also here speculate that the Oort shell is itself the primary safeguard of excessive cosmic rays damaging to life.
Such magnetism can be seen in Earth's history as water levitates in 10 Tesla and only 1 T is possible on the face of the Earth so historical myth would necessitate the introduction of a brief but reoccurring massive magnetic field. Such would describe the LT starbit Proxima Centauri eccentric visiting orbit.
Magnetars are proposed as the source of 'gravity waves' but it has recently been determined that Sol, our sun, is also the producer of sun quakes that travel the surface and can meet and produce energy emitted as a solar blast on the opposite side of the sun from the CME.

Re: Magnetars
A brief mention on page seven of the current Astronomy states that a magnetar slowed in rotation and began emitting radio waves. This apparently occurred in October 2020. Some are speculating a surface rupture may have caused the anomalous behavior.
