Issue Date: | 2021 | Journal: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Number: | 504 | Issue: | 4 | First Page: | 5244 | Abstract: | After 15 yr, in late 2018, the magnetar XTE J1810-197 underwent a second recorded X-ray outburst event and reactivated as a radio pulsar. We initiated an X-ray monitoring campaign to follow the timing and spectral evolution of the magnetar as its flux decays using Swift, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and NICER observations. During the year-long campaign, the magnetar reproduced similar behaviour to that found for the first outburst, with a factor of 2 change in its spin-down rate from ~7.2 × 10<SUP>-12</SUP> to ~1.5 × 10<SUP>-11</SUP> s s<SUP>-1</SUP> after two months. Unique to this outburst, we confirm the peculiar energy-dependent phase shift of the pulse profile. Following the initial outburst, the spectrum of XTE J1810-197 is well modelled by multiple blackbody components corresponding to a pair of non-concentric, hot thermal caps surrounded by a cooler one, superposed to the colder star surface. We model the energy-dependent pulse profile to constrain the viewing and surface emission geometry and find that the overall geometry of XTE J1810-197 has likely evolved relative to that found for the 2003 event. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/32171 | URL: | https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/504/4/5244/6261201?login=false | ISSN: | 0035-8711 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnras/stab1236 | Bibcode ADS: | 2021MNRAS.504.5244B | Fulltext: | open |
