Blitzar

Blitzar - a theoretical astronomical object that is a variant of a neutron star, which may be responsible for the formation of so-called. fast radio burst (FRB). The object name is a combination of the words blitz (lightning, lightning) and pulsar.

Blitzar begins her life as a neutron star with a mass allowing her to collapse into a black hole, but spinning at such high velocity that the centrifugal force acting on the star's matter is sufficient to suppress the star's collapse into its interior. At this stage, the blitzar characteristics are similar to those of a normal pulsar. The rapidly rotating pulse slowly loses energy, radiating it through the magnetic field, which in turn slows its rotational motion. At the same time, the magnetic field of the star clears the surrounding space from gas and cosmic dust, which has a significant impact on the further evolution of the object. After a few million years, the pulsar slows down so much that the centrifugal force can no longer stop the collapse of its matter, the process of forming a black hole begins. At the time of this building, the magnetic field outside the black hole is cut off from its source of energy and immediately emitted in the form of a "radio flash" - a short-lived, millisecond radio emission over a wide range of radiation. Since the nearest star has already been cleared from most of the matter, the radio flash is not accompanied by a similar flash of gamma or X-ray radiation, resulting from the annihilation of matter falling into the black hole that usually results from the formation of black holes.

So far (July 30, 2014) six FRB flashes have occurred that could have originated this way. According to scientists, such signals can reach the Earth at frequencies of ten seconds.
