Radiation belt of a NS?
Anomalous X-ray pulsars Lack of evidence of binary companions Luminosity larger than the spin down power Periods in the 5-12s range Spin-down time scales of 10^3-10^5yrs No long term variability (NO!)
AXPs (II) Soft X-ray spectrum Absence of radio emission (In some cases) Associate with supernova remnants
Theory Magnetar 18颗
Consequences Magnetospheric plasma density 3 orders larger than the \rho_GJ Resonant cyclotron scattering (RCS)
RRATs 22颗
INSs 7颗
Spectrum of J1856 X-ray: Optical/UV excess: Distance: 140 pc Temperature: 63 eV Radius: 5.1 km Optical/UV excess: Temperature: 26 eV Radius: 21.2 km Distance: 140 pc
