On the corona of magnetars

open access: yes, 2007
Slow dissipation of non-potential magnetic fields in the magnetosphere of the magnetar is assumed to accelerate particles to hundreds MeV along the magnetic field lines. We consider interaction of fast particles with the surface of the magnetar. We argue that the collisionless dissipation does not work in the atmosphere of the neutron star because the ...

Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae with Bumpy Light Curves Powered by Precessing Magnetars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent observations and statistical studies have revealed that a significant fraction of hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) exhibit light curves that deviate from the smooth evolution predicted by the magnetar-powered model, instead showing

Investigating the Recursive Short X-Ray Burst Behavior of Magnetars through Crustal Interactions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Energetic bursts from strongly magnetized neutron stars, known as magnetars, are typically detected in clusters. Once an active episode begins, anywhere from a few to thousands of hard X-ray bursts can occur over durations ranging from days to months ...

VLBA Astrometry of the Fastest-spinning Magnetar Swift J1818.0−1607: A Large Trigonometric Distance and a Small Transverse Velocity

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
In addition to being the most magnetic objects in the known Universe, magnetars are the only objects observed to generate fast-radio-burst-like emissions. The formation mechanism of magnetars is still highly debated and may potentially be probed with the

Toward Understanding the Origin of Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts Driven by Magnetars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In this paper, we analyze a sample of Swift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with extended emissions in γ -rays and/or X-ray plateaus that may be driven by magnetars.

GBT Radio Monitoring of Magnetars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Magnetars are very exotic objects that are related to neutron stars and pulsars. A neutron star is formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion. The super-dense core that is left after such an explosion is a neutron star.
