Abstract

Transient outbursts from magnetars have shown to be a key property of their emission, and one of the main way to discover new sources of this class. From the discovery of the first transient event around 2003,we now count about a dozen of outbursts, which increased the number of these strongly magnetic neutron stars by a third in six years. Magnetars’ outbursts might involve their multi-band emission resulting in an increased activity from radio to hard X-ray, usually with a soft Xray flux increasing by a factor of 10–1000 with respect to the quiescent level. A connected X-ray spectral evolution is also often observed, with a spectral softening during the outburst decay. The flux decay times vary a lot from source to source, ranging from a few weeks to several years, as also the decay law which can be exponential-like, a power-law or even multiple power-laws can be required to model the flux decrease. We review here on the latest observational results on the multiband emission of magnetars, and summarize one by one all the transient events which could be studied to date from these sources.
