Abstract

We present preliminary results on the spectral modeling of magnetars' X‐ray emission through a resonant cyclotron scattering model. We fit the soft and hard X‐ray spectrum of all magnetars with a main component representing a thermal emission from the neutron star surface which scatters (through a resonant cyclotron scattering process) on a slab of mildly relativistic magnetospheric electrons. Here we present the results obtained for the 0.5–200 keV (XMM–Newton+INTEGRAL) spectrum of the anomalous X‐ray pulsar 1E 1841–045, and the 0.5–10 keV (XMM–Newton) variable spectrum of the transient magnetar XTE J1810–197.
