A Quarter Century of Wind Spacecraft Discoveries [PDF]
Rev Geophys, 2021 Abstract The Wind spacecraft, launched on November 1, 1994, is a critical element in NASA’s Heliophysics System Observatory (HSO)—a fleet of spacecraft created to understand the dynamics of the Sun‐Earth system. The combination of its longevity (>25 years in service), its diverse complement of instrumentation, and high resolution and accurate ...

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.

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.

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

Solving the Mystery of Fast Radio Bursts: A Detective’s Approach
Universe, 2023 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 ...

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.

, 2007 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 ...
