Attachment: Magnetar: Animation


Comment regarding the attachment
Effelsberg radio telescope during the observations towards the Galactic centre. Zoom into the Sagittarius region with the Galactic centre, finally showing the magnetar spinning around in direct vicinity oft he central source of our Galaxy. The sound mimics a (somewhat noisy) pulsar signal as emitted by magnetars (played a bit faster than the original signal with a period of 3.76 sec).
