	[[Anomalous X-Ray Pulsar]]s (AXPs) are now widely believed to be [[Magnetar]]s —young, isolated, highly magnetized [[Neutron Star]]s. These energtic X-ray pulsars are characterized by slow rotation periods of ~2–12 seconds and large magnetic fields of ~1013–1015 [[Gauss]] (1 to 100 [[Tesla\|Gigatesla]]s). There are currently 9 known and 1 candidate AXPs. The identification of AXPs with magnetars was motivated by their similarity to another enigmatic class of sources, the [[Soft Gamma Repeater]]s.
