Found the mysterious star-“zombie”

Celestial body in a strange way remained bright after the explosion.

An international group of scientists from the University of California in Santa Barbara discovered atypical supernova iPTF14hls that survived the catastrophic explosion that was to destroy it. However, for several decades, the celestial body continues to be bright.

It is reported that iPTF14hls registered for the first time in 2014 the staff of the Palomar Observatory in San Diego. Initially it was attributed to the type II-P – variety massive stars that ceased to exist by the explosion with the release of large amounts of light energy.

Typically, such a supernova fade within a few months. However, in this case iPTF14hls not only not extinguished, but became even brighter.
After a hundred days of observations, it looked as if the explosion occurred only a month ago. It will Shine brightly enough and two years later.

While scientists almost exclude the possibility that iPTF14hls and supernova are two different objects.

Scientists theorize that a celestial body may be a pulsating pair-instability supernova, which is undergoing a cycle of explosions and collapsing into a black hole.

On the other hand, there is a high probability that a heavenly body is the representative of a special type of neutron stars of magnetron. They after the outbreak turn into a rapidly rotating object with a magnetic field trillions of times stronger than earth’s. In this case, the rotational energy goes into the energy of light that could explain the brightness of the stars.
