Probing magnetars magnetosphere through X-ray polarization measurements
Roberto Taverna, Fabio Muleri, Roberto Turolla +3
The study of magnetars is of particular relevance since these objects are the only laboratories where the physics in ultra-strong magnetic fields can be directly tested. Until now,…
A variable absorption feature in the X-ray spectrum of a magnetar
Andrea Tiengo, Paolo Esposito, Sandro Mereghetti +9
Soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are slowly rotating, isolated neutron stars that sporadically undergo episodes of long-term flux enhancement (out…
Pulse profiles from thermally emitting neutron stars
R. Turolla, L. Nobili
The problem of computing the pulse profiles from thermally emitting spots on the surface of a neutron star in general relativity is reconsidered. We show that it is possible to ext…
