On period and burst histories of AXPs and SGRs and the possible evolution of these objects on the P-P diagram

open access: yes, 2003
In this paper, timing data for anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma repeaters are compiled. Timing properties of these objects are investigated. The effect of bursts of soft gamma repeaters on their period history is investigated.

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

GTC Optical/Near-infrared Upper Limits and NICER X-Ray Analysis of SGR J1935+2154 for the Outburst in 2022

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 has undergone another outburst since 2022 October 10. We present the results of searching for an optical/near-infrared (NIR) counterpart of SGR J1935+2154 before and during this outburst.

Origin of High Velocity Pulsar and Soft Gamma Ray Repeaters [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996
Abstract We consider a close binary system with separation ≃ 0.2 R⊙ which consists of a (C+O) star of mass ≃ 4 M⊙ and a neutron star as a progenitor of soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) and a high velocity pulsar. After the event of the supernova explosion, both new and old neutron stars have high relative velocity of ≃ 1000km s−1 to the center of mass ...

Search for gravitational wave bursts from six magnetars

open access: yes, 2016
Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are thought to be magnetars: neutron stars powered by extreme magnetic fields. These rare objects are characterized by repeated and sometimes spectacular gamma-ray bursts.

Robotics in Ionizing Radiation Environments: Vulnerabilities, Hardening, and Future Directions

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Radiation exposure causes cumulative degradation in robotic sensors, actuators, and electronic logic, often leading to undetected failures. This study maps component vulnerabilities, evaluates hardening and shielding strategies, and identifies testing gaps that must be addressed to enable next‐generation radiation‐tolerant robotic systems.

NICER Magnetar Burst Catalog

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
In this paper, we present a comprehensive catalog of short bursts from magnetars based on 8 yr of NICER observations. A total of 1130 bursts were identified from 14 sources, with the sample dominated by SGR 1935+2154, which accounts for 76% of all ...

Wavy‐Interlocked Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerators Enhanced by Liquid Metal Microflowers for Self‐Powered Wearable Motion Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic showing a stretchable triboelectric nanogenerator based on interlocked wavy architectures that uses EGaIn microflower‐embedded PVDF‐TrFE and Nylon‐6 nanofiber membranes. The multi‐petaled, electron‐rich EGaIn microflowers enhance interfacial polarization and capacitance, while the interlocked wavy architecture enlarges the effective contact ...

Late-blooming Magnetars: Awakening as Long-period Transients after a Dormant Cooling Epoch

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Long-period transients are an elusive class of compact objects uncovered by radio surveys. While magnetars are a leading candidate for those sources that appear isolated, several observational properties challenge the established evolutionary framework: (
