Unexpectedly, the most remote, lonely neutron star in the universe

Astronomers first discovered a special type of neutron star outside the Milky Way galaxy, using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.

This neutron star essentially contains super-dense cores as a result of one.

It was recently identified as a rare star, with low magnetic fields and no companion with any star.

It has the scientific name of 1E 0102.2-7219 (abbreviated E0102) located in the Small Magellan Cloud, 200,000 light-years from Earth.

The new E0102 composite image allows astronomers to get new details about the object. In this image, X-rays emitted from this star are blue and purple and strange red.

The oxygen-rich supernova remnants contained in star E0102 are important for scientists to understand how this star formed when the supernova host exploded in the past.

Observing from Radio Chandra with E0102 shows supernova remnants in this star dominated by a large ring-shaped structure covered with X-rays, combined with remnant supernova waves.

In addition, the data on the new MUSE tool shows that a smaller air ring (bright red) is expanding. At the center of this ring is a blue X-ray source and these two sources of activity are shaped like the eyes of the star.
