Period Clustering of the Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars and Magnetic Field Decay in Magnetars
{{output}}
We confront theoretical models for the rotational, magnetic, and thermal evolution of an ultramagnetized neutron star, or magnetar, with available data on the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs). We argue that, if the AXPs are interpreted as magnetars, their cluste... ...
