Abstract
We investigate the combined evolution of the dipolar surface magnetic field (B) and the spin-period (P) of known magnetars and high magnetic field (B ~G) radio pulsars. We study the long term behaviour of these objects assuming a simple ohmic dissipation of the magnetic field. Identifying the regions (in the P-B plane) in which these neutron stars would likely move into, before crossing the death-line to enter the pulsar graveyard, we comment upon the possible connection between the magnetars and other classes of neutron stars.
