I believe that is called a windmill tactic. There are numerous articles and forums about it here on chess.com:

And by the way, in the puzzle, you can win an additional pawn with 7. Rxa7.

That doesn't really win an extra pawn because it half opens the a file for Black's rook which can then capture the pawn on a2 after the Queen has been taken.  It's best left alone.
