Abstract
AbstractWe present X-ray observations of PSR J1814–1744, a 4 s radio pulsar with inferred surface dipole magnetic field strength 5.5 × 1013G recently discovered in the on-going Parkes multibeam survey. This pulsar’s spin parameters are very similar to those of anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs). X-ray emission is not detected from the position of the radio pulsar in observations withROSATandASCA. The derived upper flux limit implies an X-ray luminosity significantly smaller than those of all known AXPs. These results argue that magnetar mechanism invoked to explain X-ray emission from AXPs must depend on more than merely the inferred surface magnetic field strength as estimated fromPand.
