SPATIAL, TEMPORAL, AND SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF X-RAY EMISSION FROM THE MAGNETAR SGR 0501+4516
SPATIAL, TEMPORAL, AND SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF X-RAY EMISSION FROM THE MAGNETAR SGR 0501+4516
SGR~0501+4516 was discovered with the Swift satellite on 2008 August 22, after it emitted a series of very energetic bursts. Since then, the source was extensively monitored with Swift, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and observed with Chandra and XMM-Newton, providing a wealth of information about its outburst behavior …
