The traditional model of these objects was introduced by Duncan & Thompson.
In 2000, Zhang and Harding suggested a limit called the "deathline" that explains why these objects do not produce certain emissions. These objects were also studied by Kaspi and McLaughlin, while Gaensler noted that phenomena believed to be caused by these objects are frequently preceded by massive progenitors. Ferrario conjectured the (*) "fossil" theory of these objects. The traditional model of these objects was introduced by Duncan & Thompson. Believed to be surrounded by electron clouds, they produce Alfven waves and cause photon splitting, scattering suppression, and vacuum birefringence. AXP's and soft gamma repeaters are believed to be caused when one of these objects undergoes a starquake, and their namesake characteristic is the result of the dynamo effect. For 10 points, name this type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field.
