The strongest magnetic fields in the universe: How strong can they become?
Frontiers in Physics, 2014 Magnetic fields in the universe are in general weak, of the order of µGauss only. However, in compact objects they assume extraordinarily large values. These are produced by gravitational collapse of massive magnetised objects.

Gravitational Radiation from Newborn Magnetars [PDF]
, 2005 There is growing evidence that two classes of high-energy sources, the Soft Gamma Repeaters and the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars contain slowly spinning ``magnetars'', i.e.

Implications of a "Fast Radio Burst" from a Galactic Magnetar [PDF]
, 2020 A luminous radio burst was recently detected in temporal coincidence with a hard X-ray flare from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 with a time and frequency structure consistent with cosmological fast radio bursts (FRB) and a fluence within a factor ...

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.

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.

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 ...

MAGNETARS: FACT OR FICTION? [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2011 Anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are enigmatic pulsar-like objects. The energy budget is the fundamental problem in their studies. In the magnetar model, they are supposed to be powered by the extremely strong magnetic fields (≳ 1014 G ) of neutron stars.
