Abstract
AbstractMagnetars are a special kind of neutron stars. There may also be accreting magnetars. From the studies of isolated magnetars, it is known that a neutron star with a strong dipole field only is not a magnetar. Super‐slow X‐ray pulsars may just be accreting high magnetic‐field neutron stars. The ultra‐luminous X‐ray pulsar NuSTAR J095551+6940.8 may be an accreting magnetar. It may be an accreting low magnetic field magnetar with multipole field of 1014 G and dipole field of 1012 G. This point of view is consistent with the study of isolated magnetars. An ultra‐luminous X‐ray pulsar phase during binary evolution may result in massive millisecond pulsars. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
