![]() A bow shock of gas moves along in front of the pulsar, similar to the pile-up of water in front of a moving boat. The pulsar is traveling through interstellar space at about a million miles per hour, with the wind trailing behind it. Pulsars generate winds of charged particles that are usually confined within their powerful magnetic fields. The pulsar may be leaking these positrons into the galaxy. (The usual process of converting mass into energy, famously determined by Albert Einstein’s E = mc2 equation, is reversed, and energy is converted into mass.) The combination of two extremes - fast rotation and high magnetic fields of pulsars - leads to particle acceleration and high-energy radiation that creates electron and positron pairs. The researchers in the new Chandra study think that pulsars like PSR J2030+4415 may be one answer. #ANTIMATTER PICTURE FULL#Retrieved 13 March 2021.J2030 X-Ray full field. ![]() #ANTIMATTER PICTURE MOVIE#"Angels & Demons: The Physics Behind The Movie (and The Book)".
