Is magnetar a fact or fiction to us?
H. Tong, R. X. Xu
The key point of studying AXPs/SGRs (anomalous X-ray pulsars/soft gamma-ray repeaters) is relevant to the energy budget. Historically, rotation was thought to be the only free ener…

What can Fermi tell us about magnetars?
H. Tong, R. X. Xu
We have analyzed the physical implications of Fermi observations of magnetars. Observationally, no significant detection is reported in Fermi observations of all magnetars. Then th…

SGR 0418+5729: a small inclination angle resulting in a not so low dipole magnetic field?
H. Tong, R. X. Xu
The spin down behaviors of SGR 0418+5729 are investigated. The pulsar spin down model of Contopoulos & Spitkovsky (2006) is applied to SGR 0418+5729. It is shown that SGR 0418+5729…
