Magnetars constitute a specific subclass of neutron stars studied in high-energy astrophysics and are characterized by extremely powerful magnetic fields. These objects form as a result of core collapse and supernova explosions at the end of the lives of massive stars. The defining features of magnetars are their extraordinary magnetic field strengths and the intense X-ray and gamma-ray emissions produced by these fields. Observationally, magnetars are identified by irregular and sudden flare ev
