The finding marks the discovery of a new type of astronomical object – massive magnetic helium stars.

Although astronomers do not know exactly how they form, using multiple telescopes around the world, including European Southern Observatory facilities, researchers have uncovered a living star that is likely to become a magnetar. Little was known about it beyond the fact that it is one of a pair of stars, is rich in helium and is a few times more massive than the Sun.
“This is not only because this star is so unique, but also because I jokingly said that it turns Tomer into a zombie.” “The entire surface of the helium star is as magnetic as the strongest human-made magnets,” said co-author Pablo Marchant, an astronomer at KU Leuven’s Institute of Astronomy in Belgium.
