Scientific paper

Two small classes of high-energy sources, the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and the Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters, have properties that are well explained by the ``magnetar'' model, postulating the existence of isolated neutron stars with supercritical magnetic fields (B~1014-1015 G). Thanks to Simbol-X, it shall be possible to study with unprecedented detail different aspects of the high-energy properties from these sources, both for what concerns their persistent emission as well as for their bursts and flares.
