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 INTEGRAL view of the Soft Gamma-ray Repeater SGR 1806-20
D. Gotz, S. Mereghetti, I. F. Mirabel +21
We present the results obtained by INTEGRAL on the Soft-Gamma Ray Repeater SGR 1806-20. In particular we report on the temporal and spectral properties of the bursts detected durin…
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…
Magnetospheric Structure and Non-Thermal Emission of AXPs and SGRs
M. Lyutikov, C. Thompson, S. R. Kulkarni
In the framework of the magnetar model for the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars, we consider the structure of neutron star magnetospheres threaded by large-scale el…
Nature of the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars
Christopher Thompson
I summarize recent developments in the magnetar model of the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars, give a critical inventory of alternative models for the AXPs, and out…
Astrophysics of the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars
Christopher Thompson
I summarize the recent advances in our understanding of the Soft Gamma Repeaters: in particular their spin behavior, persistent emission and hyper-Eddington outbursts. The giant fl…
