Where this comes from

Abstract

Recent x-ray observations have shown that a substantial fraction of newly born neutron stars have magnetic fields of several 10(14) G. They reveal themselves as soft gamma repeaters and anomalous x-ray pulsars and may account for the missing radio pulsars in young supernova remnants.
