Transient X-ray emission, with an approximate t^{-0.7} decay, was observed from SGR 1900+14 over 40 days following the the giant flare of 27 Aug 1998. We calculate in detail the diffusion of heat to the surface of a neutron star through an intense 10^{14}-10^{15} G magnetic field, following the release of magnetic energy in its outer layers. We show that the power law index, the fraction of burst energy in the afterglow, and the return to persistent emission can all be understood if the star is composed of normal baryonic material.

  1. Searching for Axion Dark Matter Near Relaxing Magnetars

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Resonant axion-to-photon conversion near magnetars could be observable with ALMA and SKA, but the predicted line strength and frequency depend heavily on which plasma model is correct.
