## TL;DR

This paper discusses the magnetic properties of ultraluminous X-ray pulsars, suggesting that low magnetic field magnetars could exist and challenging previous assumptions about their magnetic strength.

## Contribution

It highlights the possibility of low magnetic field magnetars in ULXs, urging caution before dismissing magnetar characteristics based on magnetic field estimates.

## Key findings

- Magnetic dipole fields in ULX pulsars may be lower than previously thought.
- The existence of low magnetic field magnetars should be considered in models.
- Current evidence does not conclusively rule out magnetar nature in ULXs.

## Abstract

The magnetic dipole field of ultraluminous X-ray pulsars may not be very high. However, it is too early to say that they are not magnetars. The existence of low magnetic field magnetars should be taken into consideration.
