17 Yr of Magnetar Bursts Observed with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor

The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has been in operation for over 17 years, during which it has observed more than a thousand bursts from soft gamma repeaters (SGRs), also known as magnetars. Serving as a laboratory for extreme physics, magnetars are a sub-family of neutron stars characterized by extreme magnetic field strength, observed through a combination of persistent and short transient emission across the electromagnetic spectrum. We present the comprehensive GBM catalog of SGR short bursts which supersedes the 5-year catalog of Collazzi et al. 2015. The new catalog contains 1254 SGR short bursts observed over 17 years, providing the longest uninterrupted, high-sensitivity all-sky monitoring of magnetar bursts with unprecedented spectral and temporal resolution. Our catalog contains bursts from 17 unique Galactic sources, with major contributions by bursts from SGR J1935+2154 and SGR J1550-5418. We present overall characteristics of these bursts, such as the durations, spectral parameters for various photon models, fluxes, as well as their comparison with recently published catalogs of other missions and the previous GBM magnetar catalog. The machine readable catalog, as well as burst spectra and response files are made publicly available for the community.

4th TDAMM Workshop White Paper

Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (TDAMM) is entering a new era in which the rate and diversity of transient discoveries will grow rapidly across electromagnetic, gravitational-wave, neutrino, and cosmic-ray facilities. The scientific return from these investments will increasingly depend not on discovery alone, but on the ability to identify, prioritize, and coordinate follow-up observations across a heterogeneous and globally distributed network of observatories. This white paper summarizes the outcomes of the Fourth TDAMM Workshop and assesses the near-term discovery landscape, the infrastructure and tools that support coordinated observations, and the technical, policy, and capability gaps that may limit future progress. The workshop identified three principal challenges: insufficiently scalable and interoperable alert and coordination infrastructure, policies that impede rapid multi-facility observations and rare-event science, and the potential loss of critical high-energy, rapid-response, and spectroscopic capabilities. The white paper identifies the need for sustained support for alert distribution, brokers, standardized observatory metadata, cross-facility coordination platforms, and unified follow-up repositories; expanded joint observing opportunities and funding mechanisms for coordinated analysis; and strategic investment in future TDAMM facilities. The white paper also present a framework for community observing plans that would establish pre-coordinated responses to rare, high-impact events, supported by transparent governance, immediate public data release, and regular community revision. Science overviews and detailed observing strategies are provided for gamma-ray bursts, tidal disruption events, X-ray binaries, novae, supernovae, magnetars, compact binary mergers, and high-energy neutrino sources.

Pulsed Infrared Emission from Magnetar 4U 0142+61 Detected by JWST

We report on a JWST observation of the magnetar 4U 0142+61 on 2024 August 18 with the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). NIRCam observed the magnetar for 33~min in timing mode, providing a time resolution of 2.5~s. In the F410M filter (pivot wavelength 4.08 $\mu$m), we measured the flux density $f_\nu = 22.9\pm0.6$ $\mu$Jy and detected pulsations at a frequency of $115.059\pm0.035$ mHz, in agreement with the magnetar's spin period at the epoch of the JWST observation. The observed pulse profile has one peak per period (although this may be due to the poor time resolution), with a lower limit on the pulsed fraction of about 10\%. We compare the IR pulse profile to the NICER and NuSTAR X-ray pulse profiles and find that the IR peak overlaps with the hard X-ray peak, suggesting a magnetospheric origin for the pulsed IR emission.

Detailed Timing, Spectral, and Polarimetric Analysis of Magnetar 1RXS J170849.0-400910

We present a broadband timing, spectral, and polarimetric study of the magnetar 1RXS~J170849.0-400910 using XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and IXPE. The pulse morphology evolves strongly across 0.5-70 keV. Below 3 keV, the emission is dominated by a broad soft pulse with a leading shoulder that develops into a faint interpulse near 3 keV, while the pulse fraction remains $\approx$25%. The profile becomes increasingly double-peaked between 3 and 20 keV and returns to a single peak at higher energies. The pulse fraction dips to $\sim$20% near 4 keV and rises to $\sim$42% above 25 keV. The phase-averaged spectrum is well described by an absorbed blackbody plus two power-laws, with $kT=0.468\pm0.003$ keV, $\Gamma_{\rm soft}=2.63\pm0.04$, and $\Gamma_{\rm hard}=0.5\pm0.1$. Phase-resolved spectroscopy reveals distinct soft and hard pulse components. The thermal modulation is driven primarily by a factor of $\sim$5 variation in projected emitting area, whereas the soft power-law exhibits two peaks with different phase and energy evolution, suggesting distinct emission regions or mechanisms. The 10-70 keV flux is strongly anticorrelated with the soft power-law photon index, linking spectral hardening to the hard pulse. The polarization degree also varies strongly with phase and energy. In the 2-3 keV band, it is anticorrelated with the intensity profile, consistent with magnetized-atmosphere emission, whereas in the 4-8 keV band it reaches $64\pm10$% during the nonthermal power-law-dominated peak. This high polarization can be reproduced by magnetospheric quantum pair-synchrotron emission. Together, these results reveal an intricate, phase-dependent superposition of emitting regions and radiative processes whose complexity emerges only through broadband, phase-resolved spectropolarimetry.

Magnetar Fireballs and Short Bursts: Curved Spacetime Lensing, QED Effects, Spectra, Polarization, and Impulse Responses

Magnetar short bursts (SBs) are hard X-ray transients of durations $0.01-1$ s peaking at $\sim 10-100$ keV, and are prime targets for new high-energy missions and polarimeters. The recent association of SBs with bright radio bursts in SGR 1935+2154 has broadened interest in SB physics. We present new advanced fireball models combining general relativistic light bending, polarized transport in magnetized photospheres, magnetic photon splitting attenuation, and magnetospheric vacuum birefringence. These models also have relevance to trapped fireballs in magnetar giant flare pulsating tails. We adopt confined flux tube geometries consistent with adiabatic fireballs, and anisotropic/polarized emergent intensities to produce spectra and polarizations, and energy-time Stokes impulse responses. We predict that most fireballs are highly linearly polarized, especially when vacuum birefringence is important. There is rich potential for diagnostics: coexisting direct and lensed delayed images, gaps by occultation of the neutron star surface, and Shapiro+R{\o}mer delay with temporal caustics. These effects can imprint spin phase dependence of the spectral and polarization character of bursts. Predicted signatures depend strongly on viewing geometry, fireball configuration, and photon splitting assumptions, yielding large variance in model high-energy spectral shapes and cutoffs, and energy-dependent polarization. The models can reproduce established double-blackbody SB spectral phenomenology, and we find that the unusual April 2020 radio-associated SB from SGR 1935+2154 is broadly consistent with a footpoint close to the magnetic pole, and possibly near pole-on viewing geometry. Our models motivate reverberation-style analyses for SBs and suggest that high-quality data might constrain source geometry, burst crustal footpoints, and, potentially, neutron star masses and radii.

Transient narrowband radio bursts from the magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408

Radio-loud magnetars are well known for exhibiting radiative behaviors that are seldom seen among the wider pulsar population. Yet one form of emission that remains elusive among pulsars and magnetars is narrowband bursts of radio waves. Such emission is a hallmark of repeating sources of fast radio bursts (FRBs), intense radio flashes that originate from distant galaxies. Here, we report the detection of 84 narrowband radio bursts during observations of the magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 by the Murriyang telescope. They were confined to a transient profile component that appeared between 2009 February 23 to 25, one month after its 2009 outburst. Their appearance coincided with both dramatic changes in the magnetar line-of-sight magnetic-field geometry, and an emergent pulsed hard X-ray component detected by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The leading edge of the hard X-ray emission was phase-aligned with the narrowband component. This may indicate the bursts originated from pair cascades along closed field lines, though open-field line emission remains valid. Our characterization of the bursts suggests they may represent a low-energy analogue of the repeating FRB mechanism, further linking FRB progenitors to young, highly magnetized neutron stars.

Fast X-ray Transient Detection with AXIS: application to Magnetar Giant Flares

Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are among the most luminous high-energy transients in the local universe, consisting of a short, intense MeV gamma-ray spike followed by a softer, pulsating X-ray tail and possibly delayed radioactive emission. While only three Galactic events have been firmly detected, several extragalactic candidates have recently been reported, motivating the need for sensitive, rapid-response gamma- and X-ray facilities to constrain their rates and energetics. We present a feasibility study of detecting MGFs with the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS), focusing on two complementary pathways: (i) serendipitous discovery of the prompt gamma-ray spike within the field of view, and (ii) rapid follow-up of MGF tails in nearby galaxies. Using sensitivity rescaling and volumetric rate estimates, we find that serendipitous detection of prompt spikes during the mission lifetime is possible but unlikely, primarily because of their short duration and primarily because of their short duration and hard spectrum, in the assumption that the hard gamma-ray spectrum can be reliably extrapolated to the instrument's energy range. In contrast, AXIS's superior sensitivity, if accompanied by fast repointing capabilities, offer an extraordinary opportunity to detect pulsating X-ray tails out to about 20 Mpc, enabling the first extragalactic measurements of periodic modulations from a magnetar and potentially constraining emission geometry and fireball physics. Finally, we evaluate the detectability of soft X-ray line emission from r-process nucleosynthesis in MGFs, finding that such signals are extremely faint and confining the detection to Galactic distances. Our study offer a general framework for assessing the detectability of short transients with future missions.

Vacuum birefringence and the polarized X-ray emission from a radio magnetar

Magnetars are isolated neutron stars with exceptionally strong surface fields exceeding $10^{14}$ G. Their bright X-ray emission probes physical regimes in which quantum electrodynamic (QED) influences radiation propagation. Strong magnetic fields induce polarization-dependent refractive indices in the vacuum; such vacuum birefringence (VB) remains a long-standing but unconfirmed prediction of QED. Here, we report phase- and energy-resolved polarization measurements of the radio-emitting magnetar 1E 1547.0$-$5408 obtained by coordinating X-ray and radio observations from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), the Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER), and the Parkes/Murriyang observatory. We detect large polarization degrees (PD) in the thermally-dominant soft X-ray band, reaching phase-averaged values of $65\%$ at 2 keV before substantially decreasing between 2$-$4 keV. At certain rotational phases, the 2$-$3 keV PD rises to nearly $80\%$ while remaining high ($\gtrsim 40\%$) throughout the radio beam crossing. The phase-dependent X-ray and radio polarization angles are both consistent with the rotating vector model, suggesting that the emission geometries track the star's large-scale magnetic field. Collectively, these characteristics challenge standard surface emission models using non-refractive propagation of light to infinity. VB-governed magnetospheric propagation can naturally explain the X-ray polarization signals. Our results represent a significant advance in probing this hallmark prediction of QED, opening a new cosmic window into superstrong-field quantum physics, thereby motivating further observational and theoretical studies concentrating on this domain.

The Galactic population of magnetars : a simulation-based inference study

Population synthesis modeling of the observed dynamical and physical properties of a population is a highly effective method for constraining the underlying birth parameters and evolutionary tracks. In this work, we apply a population synthesis model to the canonical magnetar population to gain insight into the parent population. We utilize simulation-based inference to reproduce the observed magnetar population with a model which takes into account the secular evolution of the force-free magnetosphere and magnetic field decay simultaneously and self-consistently. Our observational constraints are such that no magnetar is detected through their persistent emission when convolving the simulated populations with the XMM-Newton EPIC-pn Galactic plane observations, and that all of the $\sim$30 known magnetars are discovered through their bursting activity in the last $\sim50$ years. Under these constraints, we find that, within 95 % credible intervals, the birth rate of magnetars to be $1.8^{+2.6}_{-0.6}$ kyr$^{-1}$, and lead to having $10.7^{+18.8}_{-4.4}$ % of neutron stars born as magnetars. We also find a mean magnetic field at birth ($μ_b$ is in T) $\log\left(μ_b\right) = 10.2^{+0.1}_{-0.2}$, a magnetic field decay slope $α_d = 1.9 ^{+0.9}_{-1.3}$, and timescale $τ_d = 17.9^{+24.1}_{-14.5}$ kyr, in broad agreement with previous estimates. We conclude this study by exploring detection prospects: an all-sky survey with XMM-Newton would potentially allow to get around 7 periodic detections of magnetars, with approximately 150 magnetars exceeding XMM-Newton's flux threshold, and the upcoming AXIS experiment should allow to double these detections.

Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flares: Population Implications, Rates and Prospects for Gamma-Rays, Gravitational Waves and Neutrinos

Magnetar Giant Flares (MGFs) are the most energetic non-catastrophic transients known to originate from stellar objects. The first discovered events were nearby. In recent years, several extragalactic events have been identified, implying an extremely high volumetric rate. We show that future instruments with a sensitivity $\lesssim 5\times 10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ at $\sim 1$ MeV will be dominated by extragalactic MGFs over short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs). Clear discrimination of MGFs requires intrinsic GRB localization capability to identify host galaxies. As MGFs involve a release of a sizable fraction of the neutron star's magnetic free energy reservoir in a single event, they provide us with invaluable tools for better understanding magnetar birth properties and the evolution of their magnetic fields. A major obstacle is to identify a (currently) small sub-population of MGFs in a larger sample of more energetic and distant sGRBs. We develop the tools to analyze the properties of detected events and their occurrence rate relative to sGRBs. Even with the current (limited) number of events, we can constrain the initial internal magnetic field of a typical magnetar at formation to be $B_0\approx 4\times 10^{14}-2\times 10^{15}$\,G. Larger samples will constrain the distribution of birth fields. We also estimate the contribution of MGFs to the gravitational wave (GW) stochastic background. Depending on the acceleration time of baryon-loaded ejecta involved in MGFs, their GW emission may reach beyond 10~kHz and, if so, will likely dominate over other conventional astrophysical sources in that frequency range.

Detection of X-ray Emission from a Bright Long-Period Radio Transient

Recently, a class of long-period radio transients (LPTs) has been discovered, exhibiting emission on timescales thousands of times longer than radio pulsars. Several models had been proposed implicating either a strong magnetic field neutron star, isolated white dwarf pulsar, or a white dwarf binary system with a low-mass companion. While several models for LPTs also predict X-ray emission, no LPTs have been detected in X-rays despite extensive searches. Here we report the discovery of an extremely bright LPT (10-20 Jy in radio), ASKAP J1832-0911, which has coincident radio and X-ray emission, both with a 44.2-minute period. The X-ray and radio luminosities are correlated and vary by several orders of magnitude. These properties are unique amongst known Galactic objects and require a new explanation. We consider a $\gtrsim0.5$ Myr old magnetar with a $\gtrsim 10^{13}$ G crustal field, or an extremely magnetised white dwarf in a binary system with a dwarf companion, to be plausible explanations for ASKAP J1832-0911, although both explanations pose significant challenges to formation and emission theories. The X-ray detection also establishes a new class of hour-scale periodic X-ray transients of luminosity $\sim10^{33}$ erg/s associated with exceptionally bright coherent radio emission.

A growing braking index and spin-down swings for the pulsar PSR B0540-69

The way pulsars spin down is not understood in detail, but a number of possible physical mechanisms produce a spin-down rate that scales as a power of the rotation rate ($\dotν\propto-ν^n$), with the power-law index $n$ called the braking index. PSR B0540-69 is a pulsar that in 2011, after 16 years of spinning down with a constant braking index of 2.1, experienced a giant spin-down change and a reduction of its braking index to nearly zero. Here, we show that following this episode the braking index monotonically increased during a period of at least four years and stabilised at ~1.1. We also present an alternative interpretation of a more modest rotational irregularity that occurred in 2023, which was modelled as an anomalous negative step of the rotation rate. Our analysis shows that the 2023 observations can be equally well described as a transient swing of the spin-down rate (lasting ~65 days), and the Bayesian evidence indicates that this model is strongly preferred.

The role of magnetar transient activity in time-domain and multimessenger astronomy

Time-domain and multimessenger astronomy (TDAMM) involves the study of transient and time-variable phenomena across various wavelengths and messengers. The Astro2020 Decadal Survey has identified TDAMM as the top priority for NASA in this decade, emphasizing its crucial role in advancing our understanding of the universe and driving new discoveries in astrophysics. The TDAMM community has come together to provide further guidance to funding agencies, aiming to define a clear path toward optimizing scientific returns in this research domain. This encompasses not only astronomy but also fundamental physics, offering insights into gravity properties, the formation of heavy elements, the equation of state of dense matter, and quantum effects associated with extreme magnetic fields. Magnetars, neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields known in the universe, play a critical role in this context. In this manuscript, we aim to underscore the significance of magnetars in TDAMM, highlighting the necessity of ensuring observational continuity, addressing current limitations, and outlining essential requirements to expand our knowledge in this field.

Rapid spin changes around a magnetar fast radio burst

Magnetars are neutron stars with extremely high magnetic fields that exhibit various X-ray phenomena such as sporadic sub-second bursts, long-term persistent flux enhancements, and variable rates of rotation period change. In 2020, a fast radio burst (FRB), akin to cosmological millisecond-duration radio bursts, was detected from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154, confirming the long-suspected association between some FRBs and magnetars. However, the mechanism for FRB generation in magnetars remains unclear. Here we report the X-ray discovery of an unprecedented double glitch in SGR 1935+2154 within a time interval of approximately nine hours, bracketing an FRB that occurred on October 14, 2022. Each glitch involved a significant increase in the magnetar's spin frequency, being among the largest abrupt changes in neutron star rotation ever observed. Between the glitches, the magnetar exhibited a rapid spin-down phase, accompanied by a profound increase and subsequent decline in its persistent X-ray emission and burst rate. We postulate that a strong, ephemeral, magnetospheric wind provides the torque that rapidly slows the star's rotation. The trigger for the first glitch couples the star's crust to its magnetosphere, enhances the various X-ray signals, and spawns the wind that alters magnetospheric conditions that might produce the FRB.

GRB 180128A: A Second Magnetar Giant Flare Candidate from the Sculptor Galaxy

Magnetars are slowly rotating neutron stars that possess the strongest magnetic fields ($10^{14}-10^{15} \mathrm{G}$) known in the cosmos. They display a range of transient high-energy electromagnetic activity. The brightest and most energetic of these events are the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) known as magnetar giant flares (MGFs), with isotropic energy $E\approx10^{44}-10^{46} \mathrm{erg}$. There are only seven detections identified as MGFs to date: three unambiguous events occurred in our Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds, and the other four MGF candidates are associated with nearby star-forming galaxies. As all seven identified MGFs are bright at Earth, additional weaker events remain unidentified in archival data. We conducted a search of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) database for candidate extragalactic MGFs and, when possible, collected localization data from the Interplanetary Network (IPN) satellites. Our search yielded one convincing event, GRB 180128A. IPN localizes this burst with NGC 253, commonly known as the Sculptor Galaxy. This event is the second MGF in modern astronomy to be associated with this galaxy and the first time two bursts are associated with a single galaxy outside our own. Here, we detail the archival search criteria that uncovered this event and its spectral and temporal properties, which are consistent with expectations for a MGF. We also discuss the theoretical implications and finer burst structures resolved from various binning methods. Our analysis provides observational evidence for an eighth identified MGF.

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Studying Extreme Accretion with Ultraluminous X-ray Sources

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) represent an extreme class of accreting compact objects: from the identification of some of the accretors as neutron stars to the detection of powerful winds travelling at 0.1-0.2 c, the increasing evidence points towards ULXs harbouring stellar-mass compact objects undergoing highly super-Eddington accretion. Measuring their intrinsic properties, such as the accretion rate onto the compact object, the outflow rate, the masses of accretor/companion -- hence their progenitors, lifetimes, and future evolution -- is challenging due to ULXs being mostly extragalactic and in crowded fields. Yet ULXs represent our best opportunity to understand super-Eddington accretion physics and the paths through binary evolution to eventual double compact object binaries and gravitational wave sources. Through a combination of end-to-end and single-source simulations, we investigate the ability of HEX-P to study ULXs in the context of their host galaxies and compare it to XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, the current instruments with the most similar capabilities. HEX-P's higher sensitivity, which is driven by its narrow point-spread function and low background, allows it to detect pulsations and broad spectral features from ULXs better than XMM-Newton and NuSTAR. We describe the value of HEX-P in understanding ULXs and their associated key physics, through a combination of broadband sensitivity, timing resolution, and angular resolution, which make the mission ideal for pulsation detection and low-background, broadband spectral studies.

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Galactic PeVatrons, star clusters, superbubbles, microquasar jets, and gamma-ray binaries

HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging (<10" FWHM) and broad spectral coverage (0.2-80 keV) with an effective area far superior to current facilities (including XMM-Newton and NuSTAR) to enable revolutionary new insights into a variety of important astrophysical problems. With the recent discoveries of over 40 ultra-high-energy gamma-ray sources (detected above 100 TeV) and neutrino emission in the Galactic Plane, we have entered a new era of multi-messenger astrophysics facing the exciting reality of Galactic PeVatrons. In the next decade, as more Galactic PeVatrons and TeV gamma-ray sources are expected to be discovered, the identification of their acceleration and emission mechanisms will be the most pressing issue in both particle and high-energy astrophysics. In this paper, along with its companion papers (Reynolds et al. 2023, Mori et al. 2023), we will present that HEX-P is uniquely suited to address important problems in various cosmic-ray accelerators, including Galactic PeVatrons, through investigating synchrotron X-ray emission of TeV-PeV electrons produced by both leptonic and hadronic processes.

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and nuclear astrophysics

HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging ($<10"$ full width at half maximum) and broad spectral coverage (0.2--80 keV) with an effective area far superior to current facilities (including XMM-Newton and NuSTAR) to enable revolutionary new insights into a variety of important astrophysical problems. HEX-P is ideally suited to address important problems in the physics and astrophysics of supernova remnants (SNRs) and pulsar-wind nebulae (PWNe). For shell SNRs, HEX-P can greatly improve our understanding via more accurate spectral characterization and localization of non-thermal X-ray emission from both non-thermal-dominated SNRs and those containing both thermal and non-thermal components, and can discover previously unknown non-thermal components in SNRs. Multi-epoch HEX-P observations of several young SNRs (e.g., Cas A and Tycho) are expected to detect year-scale variabilities of X-ray filaments and knots, thus enabling us to determine fundamental parameters related to diffusive shock acceleration, such as local magnetic field strengths and maximum electron energies. For PWNe, HEX-P will provide spatially-resolved, broadband X-ray spectral data separately from their pulsar emission, allowing us to study how particle acceleration, cooling, and propagation operate in different evolution stages of PWNe. HEX-P is also poised to make unique and significant contributions to nuclear astrophysics of Galactic radioactive sources by improving detections of, or limits on, $^{44}$Ti in the youngest SNRs and by potentially discovering rare nuclear lines as evidence of double neutron star mergers. Throughout the paper, we present simulations of each class of objects, demonstrating the power of both the imaging and spectral capabilities of HEX-P to advance our knowledge of SNRs, PWNe, and nuclear astrophysics.
