While extended emission around neutron stars has been seen before, RX J0806.4-4123 is the first neutron star to show this type of emission only in the infrared, rather than at other wavelengths.

"Neutron stars are as mysterious as they are fascinating," says study author Thankful Cromartie, from the University of Virginia. "These city-sized objects are essentially ginormous atomic nuclei.

"A neutron star is what remains when a very massive star goes supernova and dies, it is an extremely dense dead stellar core," Thankful Cromartie, 27, a graduate student at the University of ...
