Magnetars are ultra-dense stellar remnants with extremely strong magnetic fields. Researchers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the magnetar SGR 0501+4516 was not born in a neighbouring supernova as previously thought. The birthplace of this object is now unknown, and SGR 0501+4516 is the likeliest candidate in our galaxy for a magnetar that was not born in a supernova. This discovery was made possible by Hubble¡¯s sensitive instruments as well as precise benchmarks from ESA¡¯s Gaia spacecraft.
