Solving the Mystery of Fast Radio Bursts: A Detective’s Approach
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are still a mystery in contemporary astrophysics. Unlike many other astronomical objects whose basic physical mechanism is already identified and the research on which focuses mainly on refining details, FRBs are still largely ...

Thanks to INTEGRAL's long exposures of the Galactic Plane, the two brightest Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters, SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14, have been monitored and studied in detail for the first time at hard-X/soft-gamma rays. SGR 1806-20, lying close to the Galactic Centre, and being very active in the past two years, has provided a wealth of new INTEGRAL ...

An overview of light ray deflection calculation by magnetars in nonlinear electrodynamics
Due to the lack of experimental confirmation of the effects of nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) of vacuum on the electromagnetic wave, it remains the most pressing issue. One of the most optimal media for studying these effects, occurring in astrophysics,

The initial spin periods of newborn magnetars are strongly associated with the origin of their strong magnetic fields, both of which can affect the electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves (GWs) emitted at their birth. Combining the upper limit $

Robust age measurements for isolated neutron stars (NSs) are not easily available. That is why the characteristic age τch=P/2P˙ is often used as a proxy. Here, P is the spin period of the NS and P˙ is the time derivative of P.

XMM‐Newton Observations of the Peculiar Be X‐Ray Binary A0538‐66
ABSTRACT A0538‐66 is a neutron star/Be x‐ray binary located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and, since its discovery in the 70s, it showed a peculiar behavior that makes it a unique object in the high‐mass x‐ray binaries scene: the extremely eccentric orbit (e=0.72$$ e=0.72 $$), the short spin period of the neutron star (P=69$$ P=69 $$ ms), the episodes ...
