Magnetars are magnetically powered, rotating neutron stars

Magnetars are magnetically powered, rotating neutron stars. RADIO PULSARS 2000 discovered to date Radiate covering most of the electromagnetic spectrum Rotate with periods that span five decades (ms to a few hours). Are powered by their own rotational energy,
