Previous studies of the X-ray flux and spectral properties of 1RXS J170849-400910 showed hints of a possible correlation with the spin glitches that occurred in 1999 and 2001. However, due to the sparseness of spectral measurements and the…

We present the results of our detailed timing studies of an anomalous X-ray pulsar, 1RXS J170849.0-400910, using Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations spanning over ~6 yr from 2005 until the end of RXTE mission. We constructed the…

We report on the first XMM-Newton observation of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-400910. The source was observed in 2003 August and was found at a flux level a factor of about two lower than previous observations. Moreover, a…

Convincing evidence for long-term variations in the emission properties of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-400910 has been gathered in the last few years. In particular, and following the pulsar glitches of 1999 and 2001,…

We report the detection of a sudden spin-up of the 11 s anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-4000910 in regular timing observations made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The event, which occurred between MJD 51446 (1999 September 25)…

We report on a multi-band high-energy observing campaign aimed at studying the long term spectral variability of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) 1RXS J170849.0-400910, one of the magnetar candidates. We observed 1RXS J170849.0-400910 in…

We report on 5.4 yr of phase-coherent timing, using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, of the X-ray pulsar 1RXS 1708-4009, a member of the class known as ``anomalous X-ray pulsars.'' This object exhibited a rotational glitch in 1999. Here we…

We report on a timing analysis of archival observations of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1RXSJ170849.0-400910 made with the RXTE Proportional Counter Array. We detect a new large glitch (Delta nu / nu ~ 3 x 10^-6) which occurred between 2001…

We present results from eight months of Green Bank Telescope 8.7-GHz observations and nearly 18 months Swift X-ray telescope observations of the radio magnetar SGR J1745-2900, which is located 2.4" from Sgr A*. We tracked the magnetar's…

We report on long-term X-ray timing of two anomalous X-ray pulsars, 1RXS J170849.0-400910 and 1E 2259+586, using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. In monthly observations made over 1.4 yr and 2.6 yr for the two pulsars, respectively, we have…

We present an analysis of regular timing observations of the high-magnetic-field Rotating Radio Transient (RRAT) J1819$-$1458 obtained using the 64-m Parkes and 76-m Lovell radio telescopes over the past five years. During this time, the…

We report on the the long term monitoring campaign of the seemingly youngest magnetar Swift~J1818.0-1607 at radio and X-ray wavelengths over a span of one year. We obtained a coherent timing solution for the magnetar over the same time…

We report on the timing and spectral properties of the soft X-ray emission from the magnetar 1E 2259+586 from January 2013, $\sim 8$ months after the detection of an anti-glitch, until September 2019, using the Neil Gehrels Swift and NICER…

In 2003, the magnetar XTE J1810-197 started an outburst that lasted until early 2007. In the following 11 years, the source stayed in a quiescent/low activity phase. XTE J1810-197 is one of the closest magnetars, hence its X-ray properties…

Providing a link between magnetars and radio pulsars, high magnetic field neutron stars are ideal targets to investigate how bursting/magnetospheric activity and braking torque variations are connected to rotational glitches. The last…

We present a long-term study of the 2011 outburst of the magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846 carried out using new Chandra observations, as well as all the available Swift, RXTE, and XMM-Newton data. The last observation was performed on 2011…

SGR~0501+4516 was discovered with the Swift satellite on 2008 August 22, after it emitted a series of very energetic bursts. Since then, the source was extensively monitored with Swift, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and observed…

We report on the first spectral and timing characterization of the transient X-ray source 1RXS J194211.9+255552 using all available data from the Swift X-ray satellite. We used 10 years of hard X-ray data from the Burst Alert Telescope…

We report the results of two ROSAT HRI observations of the recently discovered 11s X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-400910. A refined position with a smaller error radius (10" uncertainty) and a new spin period measurement were obtained. These…

We present the evolution of the X-ray emission properties of the magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 since February 2004 over a time period covering three outbursts. We analyzed new and archival observations taken with the Swift, NuSTAR, Chandra and…
