In 2013, astronomers announced that they have discovered magnetar very close to the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Within two years, astronomers using a telescope "Chandra" and XMM-Newton watched him and found that a magnetar strange behavior.

For neutron stars are magnetars, which have incredibly strong magnetic field - a million billion times stronger than that of Earth. As with any neutron stars are magnetars are very small, and at the same time, they have incredible density: one teaspoon magnetar weighs about a billion tons. The lifetime of a magnetar is small and is about 10 thousand years. Due to the enormous stresses in the crust of the magnetar, he occasionally experiences a sudden strain, so-called "star-" and he gives off a very intense gamma radiation.

Magnetar SGR 1745-2900 is very close to a supermassive black hole Sagittarius A (Sgr A), which resides in the center of our galaxy. The scientists estimate the distance from the magnetar to a black hole is only 0.3 light years away, which, considering the size and gravitational influence of a supermassive black hole is very small.

During the research there were some oddities in the processes occurring with the magnetar. In particular, experts noted atypically slow magnetar for reducing X-ray radiation. Perhaps the explanation for this is the active surface of the magnetar bombardment by charged particles caused by the proximity to the black hole, which to some extent heated surface of a dead star. It is also possible that a magnetar, to some extent, is in space changes due to the monstrous gravitational field of a black hole and that it has a strangeness in his behavior.
