...…requires amendment because as discussed in this work and extensively elsewhere (e.g. Gavriil et al. 2002; Kaspi et al. 2003; Woods & Thompson 2006; Mereghetti 2008; Kaspi 2010; Mereghetti 2013; Rea & Esposito 2011) the distinction between sources designated as “AXP” and “SGRs” has been largely…...

...Several authors have written important review papers on magnetars, their observational properties, and outstanding questions in the field; (see Woods & Thompson 2006; Mereghetti 2008; Kaspi 2010; Rea & Esposito 2011; Mereghetti 2013)....

...…long periods, and the occurrence of bursts and outbursts characteristic of Anomalous Xray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) (Mereghetti 2008), are interpreted as different facets of the restless dynamics of a strong magnetic field in these (typically) young sources, in…...

...Since the tail emission is thought to originate from the fraction of the energy released in the initial spike that remains trapped in the neutron star magnetosphere, forming an optically thick photon-pair plasma (Thompson and Duncan 1995), this indicates that the magnetic field in the three sources is similar....
