J0045-7319

J0045-7319 is a remarkable astronomical system consisting of a neutron star and a massive companion star, located in the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy. The neutron star is a dense remnant of a supernova explosion, and it orbits the larger star in an elongated path. As it moves close to its partner, the neutron star pulls material from the larger star, creating intense X-ray emissions. This interaction helps scientists study extreme physics, such as gravity and matter under intense conditions, providing insights into stellar evolution and the behavior of matter in strong gravitational fields.
