摘要
We search for the hard X-ray tails of anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) from 15-200 keV with two years of INTEGRAL/SPI and SWIFT/BAT observations. Two AXPs (1E1841-045 and 4U0142+614) are detected with SPI. And four AXPs (1E1841-045, 4U0142+614, IRXS J1708-40 and 1E2259+586) are detected with SWIFT. Their hard X-ray spectra above 20 keV can be described by a power law with photon index of similar to 0.5 - 1.5. The possible turn-off energy for 1E1841-045 has been determined at around 120 keV. This non-thermal hard emission should have a different origin from the soft thermal emission of AXPs below 10 keV Modelling pulse profiles with the 3-D simulations of magnetosphere in magnetars compared with observed pulse profiles suggests that hard X-ray tails would originate in the close-field magnetosphere.
