Meaning of hyperflare | Babel Free

Definitions

An extraordinarily powerful, massive flare, usually produced by a magnetar.

rare

Examples

“Such hyperflares may be the result⟳ of phase transitions from neutron matter⟳ to hyperon or strange-quark matter⟳ in hyperstars.”

“We report⟳ an analysis of archival RXTE data from the 2004 December hyperflare from SGR 1806-20.”

“For hyperflare events occurring at the time of advanced detector operation, the observable GW energetics at 100 Hz would be close⟳ to 10⁻³⁶J, leading to stringent constraints on the magnetar model⟳.”

“This seems very plausible, as statistical and energetic considerations allow⟳ one to explain⟳ basic properties of FRBs with transformation of a tiny fraction (~10⁻⁵) of the magnetar hyperflare (~10⁻⁴⁴ -10⁻⁴⁶ erg) into a short radio burst⟳.”
