SGR J1745$-$2900 is a magnetar near the Galactic center. X-ray observations of this source found a decreasing X-ray luminosity accompanied by an enhanced spindown rate. This negative correlation between X-ray luminosity and spindown rate is…
We present the X-ray timing and spectral evolution of the Galactic Center magnetar SGR J1745-2900 for the first ~4 months post-discovery using data obtained with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR)} and Swift observatories.…
We report on 3.5 years of Chandra monitoring of the Galactic Centre magnetar SGR J1745-2900 since its outburst onset in April 2013. The magnetar spin-down has shown at least two episodes of period derivative increases so far, and it has…
The wind braking model and its applications of magnetars are discussed. The decreasing torque of magnetars during outbursts, anti-glitch, and anti-correlations between radiation and timing are understandable in the wind braking model.…
The outburst and spin-down glitch of magnetars are modeled from the magnetospheric point of view. We try to discuss the following four questions: (1) Which pulsar on the period and peirod-derivative diagram are more likely to show magnetar…
(adapted)Considering recent observations challenging the traditional magnetar model, we explore the wind braking of magnetars. There is evidence for strong multipole magnetic fields in active magnetars, but the dipole field inferred from…
The anti-glitch of magnetar 1E 2259+586 is analyzed theoretically. An enhanced particle wind during the observational interval will taken away additional rotational energy of the neutron star. This will result in a net spin-down of the…
We present new astrometric observations of the Galactic Center magnetar, PSR J1745-2900, with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). Combined with previously published measurements in 10 epochs that spanned 477 days, the complete data set…
The different timing results of the magnetar Swift J1822.3-1606 is analyzed and understood theoretically. It is pointed that different timing solutions are caused not only by timing noise, but also that the period derivative is decreasing…
Magnetars are proposed to be peculiar neutron stars powered by their super strong magnetic field. Observationally, anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-ray repeaters are believed to be magnetar candidates. While more and more multiwave…
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 examine the effects of a relativistic wind on the spin down of a neutron star and apply our results to the study of Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs), thought to be neutron stars with magnetic fields > 10^{14} G. We derive a spin-down formula…
Polarised radio emission from PSR J1745-2900 has already been used to investigate the strength of the magnetic field in the Galactic Centre, close to Sagittarius A*. Here we report how persistent radio emission from this magnetar, for over…
We report on the discovery of a new member of the magnetar class, SGR J1935+2154, and on its timing and spectral properties measured by an extensive observational campaign carried out between July 2014 and March 2015 with Chandra and…
Several aspects of the magnetospheric physics of magnetars are summarized, including: GeV and hard X-ray emissions of magnetars, timing behaviors during magnetar outburst (soft X-ray observations), optical/IR observations of magnetars,…
Magnetars are a kind of pulsars powered mainly by superhigh magnetic fields. They are popular sources with many unsolved issues in themselves, but also linked to various high energy phenomena, such as QPOs, giant flares, fast radio bursts…
In Torne et al. (2015), we showed detections of SGR J1745-2900 up to 225 GHz (1.33 mm); at that time the highest radio frequency detection of pulsar emission. In this work, we present the results of new observations of the same magnetar…
We present radio continuum light curves of the magnetar SGR J1745$-$2900 and Sgr A* obtained with multi-frequency, multi-epoch Very Large Array observations between 2012 and 2014. During this period, a powerful X-ray outburst from SGR…
In this paper, we attribute high braking indices $n>3$ of two magnetars SGR 0501$+$4516 and 1E 2259$+$586 to the decrease in their inclination angles using the double magnetic-dipole model proposed by Hamil et al.(2016). In this model,…
Magnetars are a special subset of the isolated neutron star family, with X-ray and radio emission mainly powered by the decay of their immense magnetic fields. Many attributes of magnetars remain poorly understood: spin-down glitches or the…
