Scientific paper

Magnetars, as defined some 15 yr ago, are inconsistent both with fundamental physics, and with the (by now) two observed upward jumps of the period derivatives (of two of them). Instead, the class of peculiar X-ray sources commonly interpreted as magnetars can be understood as the class of throttled pulsars, i.e. of pulsars strongly interacting with their CSM. This class is even expected to harbour the sources of the Cosmic Rays, and of all the (extraterrestrial) Gamma-Ray Bursts.
