Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We review recent results obtained from observations of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars at different wavelengths (X-rays, Optical, IR and Radio) with particular emphasis on results obtained by BeppoSAX. Proposed models for AXPs are briefly presented and critically discussed in the light of these results.
