Burst and Outburst Characteristics of Magnetar 4U 0142+61
2016
We have compiled the most comprehensive
burstsample from
magnetar4U 0142+61, comprising 27
burstsfrom its three
burst-active episodes in 2011, 2012 and the latest one in 2015 observed with Swift/BAT and Fermi/GBM.
Burstsfrom 4U 0142+61 morphologically resemble typical short
burstsfrom other
magnetars. However, 4U 0142+61
burstsare less energetic compared to the bulk of
magnetar
bursts. We uncovered an extended tail emission following a
burston 2015 February 28, with a thermal nature, cooling over a time-scale of several minutes. During this tail emission, we also uncovered pulse peak phase aligned X-ray
bursts, which could originate from the same underlying mechanism as that of the extended
bursttail, or an associated and spatially coincident but different mechanism.
