  1. 119. The extreme activity of strong and low magnetic magnetars
    Dr Nanda Rea (nstitute of Space Sciences (CSIC-IEEC), Barcelona, ES)
    26/03/2014, 09:00
    I will review the latest observational results on strongly magnetized neutron stars, underlying the evolutionary connection of these objects with the rest of the isolated pulsar population. In this respect, I will show how the recent discovery of three low magnetic field magnetars was crucial in understanding the evolutionary link between different isolated neutron star classes.

  2. 113. Towards the great unification of neutron stars
    Prof. Jose Pons (University of Alicante, Spain)
    26/03/2014, 09:40
    Observations of magnetars and some of the high magnetic field pulsars have shown that their thermal luminosity is systematically higher than that of classical radio-pulsars, thus confirming the idea that magnetic fields are involved in their X-ray emission. In this talk I review the most recent results of 2D simulations of the fully coupled evolution of temperature and magnetic field in...

  3. 142. Magnetic energy dissipation and emission from magnetars
    Dr Andrei Beloborodov (Columbia University)
    26/03/2014, 10:20
    Mechanisms of energy dissipation in magnetars will be discussed, including dissipation inside and outside the neutron star. Different modes of dissipation are responsible for various components of magnetar activity: persistent emission and bursts, thermal and nonthermal X-ray emission, and low-frequency emission.
