The Twin Magnetars: SGR 1627-41 and 1E 1547-5408
S. Mereghetti, A. Tiengo, P. Esposito +10
We report on recent results obtained thanks to Target of Opportunity observations of the two galactic sources SGR 1627-41 and 1E 1547-5408. These two transient sources present seve…
Quiet but still bright: XMM-Newton observations of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 0526-66
A. Tiengo, P. Esposito, S. Mereghetti +6
SGR 0526-66 was the first soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) from which a giant flare was detected in March 1979, suggesting the existence of magnetars, i.e. neutron stars powered by th…
Spin-down rate and inferred dipole magnetic field of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41
P. Esposito, M. Burgay, A. Possenti +11
Using Chandra data taken on 2008 June, we detected pulsations at 2.59439(4) s in the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41. This is the second measurement of the source spin period a…
Suzaku Observation of the New Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516 in Outburst
T. Enoto, Y. E. Nakagawa, N. Rea +17
We present the first Suzaku observation of the new Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516, performed on 2008 August 26, four days after the onset of bursting activity of this new member…
From outburst to quiescence: the decay of the transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsar XTE J1810-197
F. Bernardini, G. L. Israel, S. Dall'Osso +10
XTE J1810-197 is the first transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsar ever discovered. Its highly variable X-ray flux allowed us to study the timing and spectral emission properties of a mag…
