Could 2S 0114+650 be a magnetar?

LI X.-D. and VAN DEN HEUVEL E.P.J.

Abstract (from CDS):

We investigate the spin evolution of the binary X-ray pulsar 2S 0114+650, which possesses the slowest known spin period: ∼2.7 hr. We argue that, to interpret such a long spin period, the magnetic field strength of this pulsar must be initially ≳1014 G; that is, it was born as a magnetar. Since the pulsar currently has a normal magnetic field of ∼1012 G, our results present support for magnetic field decay predicted by the magnetar model.
