Scientific paper

Recently the magnetar model for anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) was given a significant deciding boost by the discovery of Soft-Gamma-Repeater-like bursts from AXPs. However, the basic energetics and radiative behavior of magnetar outbursts is suprisingly diverse given the very few such events observed. Understanding this puzzle is important as outbursts hold tremendous promise for constraining the physics of magnetars and neutron-star structure in general. We request Chandra TOO observations following the next two AXP outbursts in order to study the evolution of magnitude and spectrum of the pulsed and persistent emission, and, if necessary, verify the identity of the burster.
