We report on observations of four southern Anomalous X-ray Pulsars, (1RXS J170849.0-400910, 1E 1048.1-5937, 1E 1841-045 and AX J1845-0258), obtained at 1.4 GHz using the Parkes radio telescope. Radio pulsations from these sources have been…

P-stars are compact stars made of up and down quarks in $\beta$-equilibrium with electrons in a chromomagnetic condensate. We discuss p-stars endowed with super strong dipolar magnetic field which, following consolidated tradition in…

The recently observed antiglitch of AXP 1E 2259+586 is inconsistent with magnetar models, but may be explained as the consequence of sudden accretion of retrograde matter or "propeller" interaction with surrounding matter. AXP/SGR are…

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…

After spending almost a decade in a radio-quiet state, the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar XTE J1810-197 turned back on in early December 2018. We have observed this radio magnetar at 1.5 GHz with ~daily cadence since the first detection of radio…

The energy source of the anomalous X-ray pulsars is not well understood, hence their designation as anomalous. Unlike binary X-ray pulsars, no companions are seen, so the energy cannot be supplied by accretion of matter from a companion…

In August 2008, the accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar (AMXP), IGR J00291+5934, underwent an outburst lasting ~ 100 days, the first since its discovery in 2004. We present data from the double-peaked outburst from Faulkes Telescope North,…

We present XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of 1E1048.1-5937, being the first to show evidence for a significant variation in the X-ray luminosity of this Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP). While during the first XMM-Newton (2000 December)…

Access to 50 years of data has led to the discovery of pulsar emission and rotation variability on timescales of months and years. Most of this long-term variability has been seen in long-period pulsars, with relatively little focus on…

We review more than 10 years of continuous monitoring of accreting X-ray pulsars with the all-sky Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Our work includes data from the start of GBM operations in August…

We present detailed spectral and temporal characteristics over the whole X-ray band. For this purpose data have been used from INTEGRAL, RXTE and XMM-Newton. The INTEGRAL hard X-ray (>10 keV) time-averaged total spectrum, can be described…

We present our works in updating the spin and orbital parameters for the newly discovered accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar (AMXP) IGR J17591$-$2342 through pulsar timing and analyzing its energy dependent pulse behaviors. The data being…

Large pulsar glitches seem to be common to all radio pulsars and to exhibit a universal behaviour connecting the rate of occurrence, event size and interglitch relaxation that can be explained if the glitches are due to angular momentum…

We present X-ray light curves and energy spectra for the persistent accreting pulsars 4U 1626-67 and GX 301-2 measured by the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on Ginga from 1987 March - 1991 October. We compare these with simultaneous and near…

We aim both to complement the existing data on the spin history of the peculiar accreting X-ray pulsar GX 1+4 with more past and current data from BeppoSAX, INTEGRAL, and Fermi and to interpret the evolution in the framework of accretion…

Two \textit{NuSTAR} observations of the luminous X-ray pulsar LMC X-4 in October and November 2015 captured several bright accretion flares from this source, which has a long history of stable pulse and superorbital behavior. We present a…

We report on the detailed study of the 2008 October outburst from the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E 1547.0-5408 discovered through the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) detection of SGR-like short X-ray bursts on 2008 October 3. The…

The ''Anomalous X-ray Pulsars'' (AXPs) are a small group of X-ray pulsars characterized by periods in the 5-10 s range and by the absence of massive companion stars. There are now 7 possible members of this class of objects. We review…

The X-ray pulsar RX J0440.9+4431 went through a giant outburst in 2022 and reached a record-high flux of 2.3 Crab, as observed by Swift/BAT. We study the evolution of different spectral and timing properties of the source using NICER…

Three observations of the 5.54 s Transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsar XTE J1810-197 obtained over 6 months with the Newton X-Ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) are used to study its spectrum and pulsed light curve as the source fades from…
