A Magnetar-like Outburst from a High-B Radio Pulsar
R. F. Archibald, V. M. Kaspi, S. P. Tendulkar +1
Radio pulsars are believed to have their emission powered by the loss of rotational kinetic energy. By contrast, magnetars show intense X-ray and gamma-ray radiation whose luminosi…

On the braking index of the unusual high-B rotation-powered pulsar PSR J1846-0258
R. F. Archibald, V. M. Kaspi, A. P. Beardmore +2
PSR J1846-0258 is an object which straddles the boundary between magnetars and rotation powered pulsars. Though behaving for many years as a rotation-powered pulsar, in 2006, it ex…
