    • Abstract

       

      It is proposed that GLEAM-X J162759.5−523504.3, the newly discovered radio transient with an unusually long spin-period ($P_s = 1091$.1690s), can be identified to be a radio magnetar, which has a dipolar surface magnetic field of $2.5 \times 10^{16}$ G. It is shown that: (a) it is possible to anchor such a strong field at the core–crust boundary of a neutron star and (b) the energy of field dissipation can explain the observed luminosity (radio and X-ray) of this source.

    • Continuous Article Publication

      Posted on January 27, 2016

      Since January 2016, the Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy has moved to Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) mode. This means that each accepted article is being published immediately online with DOI and article citation ID with starting page number 1. Articles are also visible in Web of Science immediately. All these have helped shorten the publication time and have improved the visibility of the articles.
