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…
The Behavior of Matter under Extreme Conditions
F. Paerels, M. Mendez, M. Agueros +29
The cores of neutron stars harbor the highest matter densities known to occur in nature, up to several times the densities in atomic nuclei. Similarly, magnetic field strengths can…
The 2008 May burst activation of SGR 1627-41
P. Esposito, G. L. Israel, S. Zane +16
In May 2008 the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41 resumed its bursting activity after nearly a decade of quiescence. After detection of a bright burst, Swift pointed its X-ray te…
A Search for Pulsed and Bursty Radio Emission from X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars
V. I. Kondratiev, M. Burgay, A. Possenti +5
We have carried out a search for radio emission from six X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs) observed with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Radio Telescope (GBT) at 820 MHz. No…
Accurate X-ray position and multiwavelength observations of the isolated neutron star RBS 1774
N. Rea, M. A. P. Torres, P. G. Jonker +7
We report on X-ray, optical, infrared and radio observations of the X-ray dim isolated neutron star (XDINS) 1RXS J214303.7+065419 (also known as RBS 1774). The X-ray observation wa…
Our distorted view of magnetars: application of the Resonant Cyclotron Scattering model
N. Rea, S. Zane, M. Lyutikov +1
The X-ray spectra of the magnetar candidates are customarily fitted with an empirical, two component model: an absorbed blackbody and a power-law. However, the physical interpretat…
