Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Recent x-ray observations have shown that a substantial fraction of newly born neutron stars have magnetic fields of several 10 14 G. They reveal themselves as soft gamma repeaters and anomalous x-ray pulsars and may account for the missing radio pulsars in young supernova remnants.

LOW-MAGNETIC-FIELD MAGNETARS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2013 It is now widely accepted that soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars are the observational manifestations of magnetars, i.e. sources powered by their own magnetic energy. This view was supported by the fact that these "magnetar candidates" exhibited, without exception, a surface dipole magnetic field (as inferred from the spin-down rate) in

Magnetic Reconnection in the Space Sciences: Past, Present, and Future
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 125, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Magnetic reconnection converts, often explosively, stored magnetic energy to particle energy in space and in the laboratory. Through processes operating on length scales that are tiny, it facilitates energy conversion over dimensions of, in some cases, hundreds of Earth radii.

Long-duration Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitors and Magnetar Formation
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Millisecond magnetars produced in the center of dying massive stars are one prominent model to power gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, their detailed nature remains a mystery. To explore the effects of the initial mass, rotation rate, wind mass loss, and

THERMOPLASTIC WAVES IN MAGNETARS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 Magnetar activity is generated by shear motions of the neutron star surface, which relieve internal magnetic stresses. An analogy with earthquakes and faults is problematic, as the crust is permeated by strong magnetic fields, which greatly constrain crustal displacements.

Magnetars as cooling neutron stars with internal heating [PDF]
, 2006 We study thermal structure and evolution of magnetars as cooling neutron stars with a phenomenological heat source in a spherical internal layer. We explore the location of this layer as well as the heating rate that could explain high observable thermal

Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2013 The high-energy sources known as anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are well explained as magnetars: isolated neutron stars powered by their own magnetic energy. After explaining why it is generally believed that the traditional energy sources at work in other neutron stars (accretion, rotation, residual heat) cannot ...
