Magnetar-like Emission from the Young Pulsar in Kes 75

F. P. Gavriil, M. E. Gonzalez, E. V. Gotthelf +3

We report detection of magnetar-like X-ray bursts from the young pulsar PSR J1846-0258, at the center of the supernova remnant Kes 75. This pulsar, long thought to be rotation-powe…

The Long-term Radiative Evolution of Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 2259+586 after its 2002 Outburst

Weiwei Zhu, Victoria M. Kaspi, Peter M. Woods +3

We present an analysis of five X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM) observations of the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E 2259+586 taken in 2004 and 2005 during its relaxation following…

X-ray and Near-IR Variability of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 1048.1-5937: From Quiescence Back to Activity

Cindy R. Tam, Fotis P. Gavriil, Rim Dib +3

(Abridged) We report on new and archival X-ray and near-infrared observations of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1048.1-5937 performed between 2001-2007 with RXTE, CXO, Swift, HST, a…

Long term spectral variability in the soft gamma ray repeater SGR 1900+14

P. Esposito, S. Mereghetti, A. Tiengo +3

We present a systematic analysis of all the BeppoSAX data of SGR 1900+14. The observations spanning five years show that the source was brighter than usual on two occasions: ~20 da…

The Prelude to and Aftermath of the Giant Flare of 2004 December 27: Persistent and Pulsed X-ray Properties of SGR 1806-20 from 1993 to 2005

Peter M. Woods, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Mark H. Finger +5

On 2004 December 27, a highly-energetic giant flare was recorded from the magnetar candidate SGR 1806-20. In the months preceding this flare, the persistent X-ray emission from thi…
