TL;DR
This paper presents recent observations of two magnetar sources, supporting the idea that Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters are a single class of highly magnetized neutron stars.
Contribution
It provides new observational data on SGR 1627-41 and 1E 1547-5408, strengthening the magnetar unification hypothesis.
Findings
Similarities between the two sources support the magnetar model.
Observations reinforce the connection between AXPs and SGRs.
Data suggest a common origin for these transient sources.
Abstract
We report on recent results obtained thanks to Target of Opportunity observations of the two galactic sources SGR 1627-41 and 1E 1547-5408. These two transient sources present several similarities which support the interpretation of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters as a single class of strongly magnetized neutron stars.
