Abstract:

To study the origin of magnetars, a unique opportunity is provided by detecting an excess of thermal radiation in the radio pulsars which has dipolar magnetic fields as high as magnetars. The excess is caused by field decay as seen in magnetars. A question is raised whether the rotation powered pulsars can have active magnetic flux similar to magnetars. PSR J0726-2612 is a nearby (3kpc) radio pulsar with magnetic field as high as 10^13.5 G, and therefore is an ideal target. We propose 100ksec observation of this pulsar to discover magnetar-like thermal radiation, and determine the structure of the active magnetic flux tubes by phase alignment of rotational modulation of the X-ray radiation with radio pulses.
