A New X-Ray and Radio Burst Activity from the Magnetar SGR 1935+2154 by Noor S. Rehan, Alaa I. Ibrahim

“…The mean spectral parameters (Γ _CPL ∼ 0.82, E _p _ CPL ∼ 26 keV and kT _BBs ∼ 5.10 keV, kT _BBh ∼ 8.96 keV) are generally comparable to the previous activities but with a softer Γ _CPL and larger R _BBh than in 2020 April. The ${R}_{\mathrm{BB}}^{2}\mbox{--}{{kT}}_{\mathrm{BB}}$ parameter space shows a marked contrast where two distinctive, nonoverlapping, and smaller soft and hard blackbody regions are manifested in 2020 April but not in 2022 October and the other episodes. …”
