Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL | Number: | 849 | Issue: | 2 | First Page: | L20 | Abstract: | Rotation-powered pulsars and magnetars are two different observational manifestations of neutron stars: rotation-powered pulsars are rapidly spinning objects that are mostly observed as pulsating radio sources, while magnetars, neutron stars with the highest known magnetic fields, often emit short-duration X-ray bursts. Here, we report simultaneous observations of the high-magnetic-field radio pulsar PSR J1119-6127 at X-ray, with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, and at radio energies with the Parkes radio telescope, during a period of magnetar-like bursts. The rotationally powered radio emission shuts off coincident with the occurrence of multiple X-ray bursts and recovers on a timescale of ∼70 s. These observations of related radio and X-ray phenomena further solidify the connection between radio pulsars and magnetars and suggest that the pair plasma produced in bursts can disrupt the acceleration mechanism of radio-emitting particles. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26644 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/aa9371 | ISSN: | 0004-637X | DOI: | 10.3847/2041-8213/aa9371 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017ApJ...849L..20A | Fulltext: | open |
