Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars: Magnetar Candidates
P. M. Woods, C. Thompson
This article is a review of Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars. It contains a brief historical record of the emergence of these classes of neutron stars, a thorough o…
The X-ray Bursts from the Magnetar Candidate 1E 2259+586
Fotis P. Gavriil, Victoria M. Kaspi, Peter M. Woods
We present a statistical analysis of the X-ray bursts observed from the 2002 June 18 outburst of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) 1E 2259+586, observed with the Proportional Counte…
Long and faint GRBs in archival BeppoSAX-WFC data
J. J. M. in 't Zand, J. Heise, R. M. Kippen +4
In an ongoing effort to search for X-ray transients on diverse time scales in the data archive of the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras we have identified four GRBs that are long (betwee…
Magnetars in the afterglow era
D. Eichler, Y. Lyubarsky, C. Thompson +1
The X-ray afterglow that is observed following large flares on magnetars can be accurately fit by simple and quantitative theoretical models: The long term afterglow, lasting of or…
The BeppoSAX View on the 2001 Reactivation of SGR 1900+14
M. Feroci, S. Mereghetti, E. Costa +13
After a couple of years of quiescence, the soft gamma repeater SGR 1900+14 suddenly reactivated on 18 April 2001, with the emission of a very intense, long and modulated flare, onl…
