THIRTY YEARS OF MAGNETARS: NEW FRONTIERS
It has now been almost 30 years since March 5, 1979, when the spectacular giant flare was detected from SGR 0526-66, providing the first obser vational indication of the existence of a magnetar. Since then, neutron star research, both obser vational and theoretical, has flourished. In par ticular, the advent of the latest generation space- and ground-based obser vatories has impacted our knowledge of magnetars and other classes of neutron stars. All these objects are now studied in the whole electromagnetic spectrum, with ground-based radio, optical and infrared telescopes, and with the latest X- and Gamma-ray obser vatories. Our goal is to bring together obser vers and theoreticians working in magnetar astrophysics in a conference that will focus on breakthrough research linking astronomy, par ticle physics and condensed matter physics.
