Scientific paper

Magnetars are a rare class of isolated neutron stars, whose emission properties challenged in the past few years all the theories of radiative processes in presence of extreme magnetic fields. Catching new magnetar candidates and enlarge the known sample of these peculiar ob jects is vital in order to test such theories, provide the basis for new developments and clarify the differences and connections among the whole family of isolated neutron stars. The aim of this proposal is to identify the three most promising magnetar candidates, selected among a large number of still unidentified INTEGRAL sources. Their hard and peculiar X-ray spectrum and closeness to the galactic plane suggested they most likely belong to the magnetar class.
