Abstract
It is proposed that GLEAM-X \(\hbox {J162759.5}{-}523504.3\), the newly discovered radio transient with an unusually long spin-period (\(P_s = 1091\).1690s), can be identified to be a radio magnetar, which has a dipolar surface magnetic field of \(2.5 \times 10^{16}\) G. It is shown that: (a) it is possible to anchor such a strong field at the core–crust boundary of a neutron star and (b) the energy of field dissipation can explain the observed luminosity (radio and X-ray) of this source.
