Variability of the High-Magnetic Field X-ray Pulsar PSR J1846-0258 Associated with the Supernova Remnant Kes 75 as Revealed by the ChandraX-ray Observatory
Abstract
significant, brightening and softening of the PWN's spectrum between the 2000 and 2006 data. The observed X-ray brightening and softening of the pulsar suggests for the first time that this HBP is revealing itself as a magnetar. The Chandra variability was also independently found by Gavriil et al. (2008) and Ng et al. (2008), and the magnetar nature of the pulsar was further established by Gavriil et al. (2008) using RXT E.
