Recent Results on the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars

preprint1997arXivOpen access

Abstract

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 recent observational results on their X-ray spectra, spin period evolution, and searches for orbital motion and discuss the implications for possible models.
