80,113. In a most extreme case the magnetic field can be ten to the fifteen or one hundred trillion times the magnetic field of the Earth. (Magnetar & Electromagnetism) Professor Stan Woosley
80,114. But pulsars aren’t the strangest thing a supernova can leave behind. When stars thirty times bigger than our sun explode they produce a type of neutron star called a magnetar. Magnetars are even stranger than pulsars and generate powerful magnetic fields. (Magnetar & Neutron Star & Universe) How the Universe Works s1e5: Supernovas, Discovery 2010
115,585. Magnetars are the most magnetic objects in the universe. And this one surpasses them all: its magnetic field is one thousand trillion times stronger than our Sun’s … It’s unimaginably dense. (Universe & Magnetar & Electromagnetism) How the Universe Works 2e4: Megaflares: Cosmic Firestorms
115,842. A blast from a magnetar could blow our atmosphere into space … Earth would become a lifeless ball of rock. (Universe & Magnetar & Magnetism & Electromagnetism) How the Universe Works s4e8: Forces of Mass Construction
80,115. These stars are so dense that just a teaspoon of material from one of them would weigh as much as all the cars and trucks in the Earth. Extreme Universe s1e5: Time Bombs, National Geographic 2010
104,319. Magnetar: these mischievous stars have the strongest magnetic field in the universe. Scientists have confirmed twelve of these rare stars in our galaxy and there may be more … Magnetars are born from out of the death-throes of massive stars.

82,880. There are two types of neutron star: pulsars that spin rapidly and emit beeping radio pulses, and magnetars that spin more slowly and emit energy from magnetism. Magnetars which are much rarer than pulsars have the strongest known magnetic fields in the universe.

82,881. The pulsar/magnetar combination star is fairly young – less than nine hundred years old. So astronomers think neutrons stars begin their lives as magnetars then settle down and become pulsars. (Neutron Star & Magnetar & Pulsar) ibid.
