High energy systems in gas cocoons

Have been discover new objects in our galaxy. Between them is the neutron star covered by a cold cocoon gas.

Because their large quantity of X-Rays absorption by cocoon, those stars couldn't be discover until the 5 of this month, using the European "International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory" satellite.

Those kind of systems are formed by 2 stars.

Have been found 20 systems from 7.000 to 25.000 years light from Earth.

Neutron stars from those systems are 20 times larger as diameter comparing with the Sun and with a mass of 30 times bigger.
