Scientific paper

PSRs J1847-0130 and J1718-37184 have inferred surface dipole magnetic fields greater than those of any other known pulsars and well above the ``quantum critical field'' above which some models predict radio emission should not occur.These fields are similar to those of the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), which growing evidence suggests are ``magnetars''. The lack of AXP-like X-ray emission from these radio pulsars (and the non-detection of radio emission from the AXPs) creates new challenges for understanding pulsar emission physics and the relationship between these classes of apparently young neutron stars.
