What can Fermi tell us about magnetars?
H. Tong, R. X. Xu
We have analyzed the physical implications of Fermi observations of magnetars. Observationally, no significant detection is reported in Fermi observations of all magnetars. Then th…
A corresponding-state approach to quark-cluster matter
Y. J. Guo, X. Y. Lai, R. X. Xu
The state of super-dense matter is essential for us to understand the nature of pulsars, but the non- perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) makes it very difficult for direct c…
SGR 0418+5729: a small inclination angle resulting in a not so low dipole magnetic field?
H. Tong, R. X. Xu
The spin down behaviors of SGR 0418+5729 are investigated. The pulsar spin down model of Contopoulos & Spitkovsky (2006) is applied to SGR 0418+5729. It is shown that SGR 0418+5729…
The extremely long period X-ray source in a young supernova remnant: a Thorne-Zytkow Object descendant?
X. W. Liu, R. X. Xu, E. P. J. van den Heuvel +4
The origin of the 6.67 hr period X-ray source, 1E161348-5055, in the young supernova remnant RCW 103 is puzzling. We propose that it may be the descendant of a Thorne-Zytkow Object…
The missing compact star of SN1987A: a solid quark star?
X. W. Liu, J. D. Liang, R. X. Xu +2
To investigate the missing compact star of Supernova 1987A, we analyzed both the cooling and the heating processes of a possible compact star based on the upper limit of observatio…
