A Comprehensive Study of 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…
Discovery of a New Transient Magnetar Candidate: XTE J1810-197
A. I. Ibrahim, C. Markwardt, J. Swank +10
We report the discovery of a new X-ray pulsar, XTE J1810-197. The source was serendipitously discovered on 2003 July 15 by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) while observing th…
Two Radio Pulsars with Magnetar Fields
M. A. McLaughlin, V. M. Kaspi, I. H. Stairs +9
PSRs J1847-0130 and J1718-37184 have inferred surface dipole magnetic fields greater than those of any other known pulsars and well above the ``quantum critical field'' above which…
Pulsar Birthrate from Parkes Multi-beam Survey
N. Vranesevic, R. N. Manchester, G. B. Hobbs +8
We report on calculations of the pulsar birthrate based on the results of the Parkes multibeam survey. From the observed sample of more than 800 pulsars, we compute the pulsar curr…
Changes in the X-ray Emission from the Magnetar Candidate 1E 2259+586 during its 2002 Outburst
P. M. Woods, V. M. Kaspi, C. Thompson +6
(abridged) An outburst of more than 80 individual bursts, similar to those seen from Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs), was detected from the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) 1E 2259+586 in…
A Second Glitch from the "Anomalous" X-ray Pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-4000910
V. M. Kaspi, F. P. Gavriil
We report on 5.4 yr of phase-coherent timing, using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, of the X-ray pulsar 1RXS 1708-4009, a member of the class known as ``anomalous X-ray pulsars.''…
PSR J1847-0130: A Radio Pulsar with Magnetar Spin Characteristics
M. A. McLaughlin, I. H. Stairs, V. M. Kaspi +9
We report the discovery of PSR J1847-0130, a radio pulsar with a 6.7-s spin period, in the Parkes multibeam survey of the Galactic plane. The slowdown rate for the pulsar, 1.3x10^{…
Dynamical Formation of Close Binary Systems in Globular Clusters
D. Pooley, W. H. G. Lewin, S. F. Anderson +11
We know from observations that globular clusters are very efficient catalysts in forming unusual short-period binary systems or their offspring, such as low-mass X-ray binaries (LM…
A Major SGR-like Outburst and Rotation Glitch in the No-Longer-So-Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 2259+586
V. M. Kaspi, F. P. Gavriil, P. M. Woods +3
We report a major outburst from the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 2259+586, in which over 80 X-ray bursts were detected in four hours using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The bursts…
The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey: III. Young pulsars & the discovery and timing of 200 pulsars
M. Kramer, J. F. Bell, R. N. Manchester +13
The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey has unlocked vast areas of the Galactic plane which were previously invisible to earlier low-frequency and less-sensitive surveys. The survey has…
Yet MORE PM Survey Discoveries....?
A. J. Faulkner, M. Kramer, G. Hobbs +9
The Parkes Multibeam (PM) survey has found nearly 50% of the >1400 known pulsars and detected 20% of the pulsars in binary systems (75% within the survey area), few of these are mi…
Anomalous X-ray Pulsars: Long-Term Monitoring and Soft-Gamma Repeater like X-ray Bursts
F. P. Gavriil, V. M. Kaspi, P. M. Woods
We report on long-term monitoring of anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). Using phase-coherent timing, we find a wide variety of behaviors a…
Phase Coherent Timing of PSR J1811-1925: The Pulsar at the Heart of G11.2-0.3
F. P. Gavriil, V. M. Kaspi, M. S. E. Roberts
The X-ray Pulsar PSR J1811-1925 in the historic supernova remnant G11.2-0.3 has a characteristic age over 10 times the age of the remnant. This likely implies that its current spin…
