Abstract

Odd Magnetar Magnetars are neutron stars that are widely thought to be powered by extremely high magnetic fields. Using data from three different x-ray observatories, Rea et al. (p. 944 , published online 14 October) show that a previously known magnetar has a magnetic field that is much smaller than those of other magnetars. A strong magnetic field is thus not a necessary requirement for a neutron star to show magnetar-like behavior, implying that this population is wider than was previously thought.
