activity including short bursts, large outbursts, giant flares, and quasi-periodic oscillations …

The strongest cosmic magnets: soft gamma-ray repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars

S Mereghetti - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2008 - Springer
Two classes of X-ray pulsars, the anomalous X-ray pulsars and the soft gamma-ray
repeaters, have been recognized in the last decade as the most promising candidates for …

The McGill magnetar catalog

SA Olausen, VM Kaspi - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a catalog of the 26 currently known magnetars and magnetar candidates. We
tabulate astrometric and timing data for all catalog sources, as well as their observed …

Revival of the magnetar psr j1622–4950: Observations with meerkat, parkes, xmm-newton, swift, chandra, and nustar

F Camilo, P Scholz, M Serylak, S Buchner… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract New radio (MeerKAT and Parkes) and X-ray (XMM-Newton, Swift, Chandra, and
NuSTAR) observations of PSR J1622–4950 indicate that the magnetar, in a quiescent state …

Transient pulsed radio emission from a magnetar

F Camilo, SM Ransom, JP Halpern, J Reynolds… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
Anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are slowly rotating neutron stars with very bright and highly
variable X-ray emission that are believed to be powered by ultra-strong magnetic fields of> …
