We aim to understand the physics and astrophysics of magnetars in order to establish the diversity in young neutron-star properties, as well as the behaviour of matter in the strongest magnetic fields known. Magnetar research is in an early exploratory stage, necessarily phenomenological, in which basic magnetar properties are just being established. Magnetars come in two flavours: soft-gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars. This program selects a sample of AXPs. We are just beginning to map out AXP near-IR properties. Spitzer offers the unique opportunity to determine the mid-IR SED through combined IRAC 4.5um & 8um and MIPS 24um observations. The resulting mid-IR SEDs will be used to constrain theorys for the origin of the IR emission.
