Abstract
Lugg1 has recently analysed a magnetoid—a supermassive rotating highly magnetized star2–5—situated at the centre of a compact galactic nucleus in the belief that previous investigations had taken no account of interaction with neighbouring stars. Such an interaction has been widely discussed6–11, but there has been no confirmation of the main conclusion of ref. 1 that these stars can disrupt a magnetoid in as short a time as 104 yr. Here we demonstrate that this conclusion is erroneous.
