Pulsar anti-glitches: starquakes driven by magnetism?
Hanyuan Long, Ruipeng Lu, Weiyang Wang +4
The paper proposes that magnetic stresses inside magnetars can trigger starquakes, causing either glitches or anti‑glitches by changing the star’s moment of inertia.

Magnetar field dynamics driven by chiral anomalies without magnetic helicity
Clara Dehman
The paper studies how the chiral magnetic effect can generate strong dipolar magnetic fields in magnetars even when the initial magnetic field has no net helicity, showing that loc…

Vacuum birefringence and the polarized X-ray emission from a radio magnetar
Rachael E. Stewart, Hoa Dinh Thi, George Younes +13
The paper presents phase- and energy-resolved X‑ray polarization measurements of the radio magnetar 1E 1547.0‑5408, finding high polarization degrees that support vacuum birefringe…
