We investigate the evolutions of accreting NSs in IMXBs (similar to M82 X-2) with a - 5.2 M companion and orbital period 2.53 d. By adopting a mildly super-Eddington rate M = 6 × 10-8 M yr-1 for the early Case B Roche-lobe overflow (RLOF) accretion, we find that only in accreting NSs with quite elastic crusts (slippage factor s = 0.05) can the toroidal magnetic fields be amplified within 1 Myr, which is assumed to be the longest duration of the RLOF. These IMXBs will evolve into NS+white dwarf (WD) binaries if they are dynamically stable. However, before the formation of NS+WD binaries, the high stellar density in the GC will probably lead to frequent encounters between the NS+evolved star binaries (in post-early Case B mass transfer phase) and NSs or exchange encounters with other stars, which may produce single NSs. These NSs will evolve into magnetars when the amplified poloidal magnetic fields diffuse out to the NS surfaces. Consequently, our results provide a possible expianation for the origin of the GC magnetar SGR 1745-2900. Moreover, the accreting NSs with s 〉 0.05 will evolve into millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Therefore, our model reveals that the GC magnetars and MSPs could both originate from a special kind of IMXB.展开更多

X-ray observations of this source found a decreasing X-ray luminosity accompanied by an enhanced spindown rate. This negative correlation between X-ray luminosity and spindown rate is hard to understand. The wind braking model of magnetars is employed to explain this puzzling spindown behavior. During the release of magnetic energy of magnetars, a system of particles may be generated. Some of these particles remain trapped in the magnetosphere and may contribute to the X-ray luminosity. The rest of the particles can flow out and take away the rotational energy of the central neutron star. A smaller polar cap angle will cause the decrease of X-ray luminosity and enhanced spindown rate of SGR J1745-2900. This magnetar is shortly expected to have a maximum spindown rate.展开更多
