IXPE data on magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 show high linear polarization from a small hot spot whose phase-dependent angle is fit by a rotating vector model, with a marginal energy-dependent dip in polarization degree that may indicate vacuum resonance but does not constitute compelling evidence for biref

X-ray timing and spectral analysis of ASKAP J174508.9-505149 detects matching periodicity and features consistent with an accreting magnetic CV.
A second coherent radio burst spanning 704-4032 MHz with spectral index -2.18, 54% linear and 22% circular polarization, and an orthogonal polarization angle jump was detected from 2XMM J104608.7-594306, showing rare radio activity in sources thought to be radio-quiet.
Spectral fits to magnetar burst X-rays disfavor light ions and favor effective charge Z~37, providing evidence for heavy nuclei from the neutron star crust.
Magnetic inclination alignment with timescale proportional to B to the minus two suppresses observed numbers of strong-field neutron stars, unifying pulsars and magnetars under one log-uniform initial B distribution.
Phase-resolved broadband spectropolarimetry of magnetar 1RXS J170849.0-400910 shows evolving pulse profiles, a blackbody plus two power-law spectrum, and polarization up to 64% consistent with magnetospheric pair-synchrotron emission.
Finite-size effects in the nonlocal PNJL model shift the critical end point of magnetized quark matter toward higher chemical potentials and lower temperatures as droplet radius decreases.
A dynamical model of magnetar-driven jet and PWN emission predicts a sequence of thermal, X-ray plateau, and late synchrotron/inverse-Compton radiation that accounts for key features in merger GRBs.
NLED alters photon propagation near magnetars, producing ~10% errors in inferred radii via ray-tracing and a minimal ~350 ns travel-time delay.
Equatorial twist geometry in the magnetar magnetosphere allows resonant Compton upscattering to reproduce the hard X-ray spectrum of 4U 0142+61 with optical depth limits from resonant cooling.
A search of repeating FRBs identifies RM flare candidates in FRB 20121102A, FRB 20201124A, and FRB 20180916B, suggesting such events may be common and tied to dynamic magneto-ionic environments.
New EP-FXT data on the 2024 outburst of magnetar 1E 1841-045 shows energy-dependent multi-peaked pulses, spectral hardening, BB temperature-pulse intensity correlations, and effective separation from supernova remnant emission.
MONSTER project proposes SKA-VLBI measurements of magnetar proper motions to examine the irregular-supernova dynamo origin hypothesis.
A 9-hour FAST observation covering ~4230 GCs in M49 found no FRBs and sets an upper limit of 4.7e-4 FRB GC^-1 hr^-1 above ~16.5 mJy ms fluence.
Holographic entanglement entropy exhibits a swallow-tail structure indicating connected-to-disconnected transitions for perpendicular magnetic fields in the QCD phase diagram while remaining monotonic for parallel fields, consistent with black hole thermodynamics.
Simulations of the BSD instrument for POLAR-2 show it can localize faint GRBs like GRB 170817A to about 1.5 degrees accuracy, meeting requirements for supporting GRB polarimetry.
Strong magnetic fields in compact stars induce Landau quantization and magnetic-moment couplings that change the equation of state and allow additional degrees of freedom such as hyperons, Delta resonances, and quark matter.
