Zeeman Splitting of Torsional Oscillation Frequencies of Magnetars
Magnetars form a special class of neutron stars possessing superstrong magnetic fields and demonstrating power flares triggered by these fields. Observations of such flares reveal the presence of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) at certain frequencies;

Comparing supernova remnants around strongly magnetized and canonical pulsars [PDF]
The origin of the strong magnetic fields measured in magnetars is one of the main uncertainties in the neutron star field. On the other hand, the recent discovery of a large number of such strongly magnetized neutron stars, is calling for more ...

Ambipolar Heating of Magnetars
Magnetars, neutron stars thought to be with ultrastrong magnetic fields of 10 ^14–15 G, are observed to be much hotter than ordinary pulsars with ∼10 ^12 G, and additional heating sources are required.

AXPs & SGRs: Magnetar or Quarctar? [PDF]
The concept of a "magnetar" was proposed mainly because of two factors. First, the X-ray luminosity of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters (SGRs) is larger than the rotational energy loss rate, and second, the magnetic field ...

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,

Heating and cooling of magnetars with accreted envelopes
We study the thermal structure and evolution of magnetars as cooling neutron stars with a phenomenological heat source in an internal layer. We focus on the effect of magnetized (B > 10^{14} G) non-accreted and accreted outermost envelopes composed of ...

Origin and evolution of magnetars [PDF]
We present a population synthesis study of the observed properties of the magnetars, which allows for X-ray selection effects, investigating the hypothesis that they are drawn from a population of progenitors that are more massive than those of the ...

Coherent Emission from Magnetars
It is proposed that magnetospheric currents above the surfaces of magnetars radiate coherent emission in analogy to pulsars. Scaling the magnetospheric parameters suggests that the coherent emission from magnetars would emerge in the infra-red or ...
