Are anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-ray repeaters magnetars?

The magnetic fields of soft gamma-ray repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars have been estimated, taking into account the appreciable increase in the deceleration of the neutron star if it is embedded in a dense interstellar medium. These estimates yield the usual values of B10^sup 12^ G.[PUBLICATION...
