Abstract
This paper reviews the multi-wavelength properties of two groups of pulsars, the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and the Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters (SGRs), that are generally interpreted as isolated neutron stars with strong magnetic fields of 10 14–10 15 G. Most of these sources have now been observed at different wavelengths, from the radio band to hard X-rays. Several new members of these classes have been discovered in the last few years, due to their transient nature. The distinction between AXPs and SGRs is becoming less evident, as more observations are collected which show similar properties in all these sources.
