    Wait a minute. So, if the mass of a star is very large then after it explodes in a supernova, then it becomes a black hole. If it's less massive, it becomes a Neutron Star. If it's even smaller (general knowledge) it becomes a black dwarf, I think. But the article didn't tell us what mass the star needed to be to form a magnetar after a supernova explosion.
