We review recent observational results on their X-ray spectra, spin period evolution, and searches for orbital motion and discuss the implications for possible models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-12-18T17:22:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "anomalous x-ray pulsars", "spin period evolution", "orbital motion", "small group", "observational results" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/S0920-5632(98)00220-5" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 453538 } } }
