SGRs and AXPs: Evidence for Delayed Amplification of Magnetic Field after Neutron Star Formation?

We present new analysis of the birth rate of AXPs and SGRS and their associated SNRs. Using Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics together with parametric fits based on a robust estimator, we find a birth rate of ∼1/(1000 years) for AXPs/SGRs and their associated SNRs. These high rates suggest that all mass...
