X-ray and radio observations of the magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846 and its dust-scattering halo

P. Esposito, A. Tiengo, N. Rea +13

We present a long-term study of the 2011 outburst of the magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846 carried out using new Chandra observations, as well as all the available Swift, RXTE, and XMM-N…

A study of the long term variability of RX J1856.5-3754 with XMM-Newton

S. Mereghetti, N. Sartore, A. Tiengo +3

We report on a detailed spectral analysis of all the available XMM-Newton data of RX J1856.5-3754, the brightest and most extensively observed nearby, thermally emitting neutron st…

The continued spectral and temporal evolution of RX J0720.4-3125

Markus M. Hohle, Frank Haberl, Jacco Vink +4

RX J0720.4-3125 is the most peculiar object among a group of seven isolated X-ray pulsars (the so-called "Magnificent Seven"), since it shows long-term variations of its spectral a…

A new low magnetic field magnetar: the 2011 outburst of Swift J1822.3-1606

N. Rea, G. L. Israel, P. Esposito +20

We report on the long term X-ray monitoring with Swift, RXTE, Suzaku, Chandra and XMM-Newton of the outburst of the newly discovered magnetar Swift J1822.3-1606 (SGR 1822-1606), fr…

The fundamental plane for radio magnetars

Nanda Rea, Jose' A. Pons, Diego F. Torres +1

High magnetic fields are a distinguishing feature of neutron stars and the existence of sources (the soft gamma repeaters and the anomalous X-ray pulsars) hosting an ultra-magnetiz…
