The afterglow of these things was firstdetected by the satellite BeppoSAX. One type of these things repeats at regular intervals and that type'sorigin is likely magnetars. They were first detected by the Vela satellites. These things are classified intolong and short; the latter is thought to be caused by the merger of binary neutron stars while the former islikely a result of the core collapse of a rapidly rotating, massive star.
