Formation Channels of Magnetars
The Astrophysical JournalThe formation channels of magnetars remain an open question. Although core-collapse supernovae of isolated massive stars are important, binary interactions—such as tidal interaction, common envelope evolution, and stellar mergers—may also play a ...

INTEGRAL IBIS Catalog of Magnetar Bursts
The Astrophysical JournalOne of the distinctive properties of magnetars, young neutron stars powered mainly by magnetic energy, is the emission of short (≲1 s) bursts of hard X-rays. Such bursts have been observed in nearly all the known magnetars, although at different and time-

Late-Time Radio Diagnostics of Magnetar Magnetic Burial and Reemergence in GRB Afterglows
GalaxiesRecent centimeter-to-millimeter monitoring of nearby gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has revealed late-time (≳102–104 days) radio rebrightenings and spectral turnovers not explained by standard forward-shock scenarios with steady microphysics. We attribute these

The Astrophysical JournalFast blue optical transients (FBOTs) are luminous, rapidly evolving events with blue spectra, possibly powered by newborn magnetars and linked to fast radio bursts (FRBs).

Magnetic Field Effects on the Structure of Neutron Stars
UniverseWe investigate the impact of ultrastrong magnetic fields on the structure of neutron stars within a density-dependent relativistic mean-field framework (DDME2).

IXPE Observations of Magnetar Sources
GalaxiesAmong the more than 60 sources observed in the first two years of operations, IXPE addressed four magnetars, neutron stars believed to host ultra-strong magnetic fields. We report here the main implication coming from IXPE measurements for the physics of

The Self-organized Criticality Behaviors of Pulses in Magnetar Bursts
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesThe overall temporal and spectral characteristics (e.g., duration, fluence, peak flux, peak count rate, and total counts) of X-ray bursts (XRBs) originating from magnetars have been extensively studied to confirm their self-organized criticality (SOC ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesWe explain the braking index n=2.19±0.03 of PSR J1846−0258 by incorporating the time evolution of its magnetic inclination angle and dipolar magnetic field. Based on observational timing data and the age of the associated supernova remnant (tSNR≈1.77kyr),

Observations of Radio Magnetars with the Deep Space Network
Advances in Astronomy, 2019 The Deep Space Network (DSN) is a worldwide array of radio telescopes which supports NASA’s interplanetary spacecraft missions. When the DSN antennas are not communicating with spacecraft, they provide a valuable resource for performing observations of ...
