On Period and Burst Histories of AXPs and SGRs and the Possible Evolution of these Objects on the P-Pdot Diagram
In this paper, timing data for all of the anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft
gamma repeaters are compiled. Timing properties of these objects are
investigated. The effect of bursts of soft gamma repeaters on their period
history is investigated. The P-Pdot diagram for pulsars, X-ray binaries,
anomalous X-ray pulsars, soft gamma repeaters and dim radio quiet netron stars
is constructed. The possible evolutionary tracks for anomalous X-ray pulsars,
soft gamma repeaters and dim radio quiet netron stars are examined.Comment: 66 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Turkish Journal of Physic
