The de-excited energy of electron capture (EC) induced by magnetic field decay may be a new source for heating magnetar crust, so we do a quantitative calculation on the EC process near the outer crust and analyze their influence on…
We present analysis of multiple Chandra and XMM-Newton spectra, separated by 9-19 years, of four of the youngest central compact objects (CCOs) with ages < 2500 yr: CXOU J232327.9+584842 (Cassiopeia A), CXOU J160103.1-513353 (G330.2+1.0),…
The highly tangled magnetic field of a magnetar supports shear waves similar to Alfv\'en waves in an ordered magnetic field. Here we explore if torsional modes excited in the stellar interior and magnetosphere can explain the quasi-periodic…
