An accreting low magnetic field magnetar for the ultraluminous X-ray source in M82
H. Tong
One ultraluminous X-ray source in M82 is identified as an accreting neutron star recently (named as NuSTAR J095551+6940.8). It has a super-Eddington luminosity and is spinning up.…
Central compact objects, superslow X-ray pulsars, gamma-ray bursts: do they have anything to do with magnetars?
H. Tong, W. Wang
Magnetars and many of the magnetar-related objects are summarized together and discussed. It is shown that there is an abuse of language in the use of "magnetar". Anomalous X-ray p…
Two types of glitches in a solid quark star model
Enping Zhou, Jiguang Lu, Hao Tong +1
Glitch (sudden spinup) is a common phenomenon in pulsar observations. However, the physical mechanism of glitch is still a matter of debate because it depends on the puzzle of puls…
To understand the X-ray spectrum of anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-ray repeaters
Yan-Jun Guo, Shi Dai, Zhao-Sheng Li +3
Hard X-rays above 10 keV are detected from several anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), and different models have been proposed to explain the physic…
A note on the puzzling spindown behavior of the Galactic center magnetar SGR J1745-2900
H. Tong
SGR J17452900 is a magnetar near the Galactic center. X-ray observations of this source found a decreasing X-ray luminosity accompanied by an enhanced spindown rate. This negati…
