Magnetar vs Quark - What's the difference?
magnetar | quark |
(star): A neutron star or pulsar with an extremely powerful magnetic field, especially those on which starquakes]] occur, thought to be the source of some [[gamma-ray burst, gamma-ray bursts.

(particle) In the Standard Model, an elementary subatomic particle which forms matter. Quarks have never been found alone as of this writing, They combine to form hadrons, such as protons and neutrons.
* 1993 , Gell-Mann won the linguistic battle once again: his choice, a croaking nonsense word, was "quark". (After the fact, he was able to tack on a literary antecedent when he found the phrase "Three quarks for Muster Mark" in Finnegans Wake, but the physicists quark was pronounced from the beginning to rhyme with "cork".) — (James Gleick), Genius: Richard Feynman and Modern Physics

(computing, X Window System) An integer that uniquely identifies a text string.
A soft creamy cheese, eaten throughout northern, central, and eastern Europe, very similar to cottage cheese except that it is usually not made with rennet.
As nouns the difference between magnetar and quark
is that magnetar is magnetar while quark is quark (cheese) or quark can be a quark (particle).magnetar

- This signal could be detected with Advanced LIGO-class detectors up to the distance of the Virgo cluster, where ? 1 yr?1 magnetars are expected to form.

- The radio-silent neutron stars include anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), and “quiescent” neutron star candidates in SNRs. There is growing evidence that AXPs and SGRs are indeed magnetars (see [109] for a review).

- One of most mysterious feature[s] of magnetars' is their X-ray luminosities, which always exceed the rotational energy loss. Thus, the energy source of the radiation of ' magnetars is a mysterious question.
