The upper limit on the pulsed radio emission from this source is 0.5 mJy. According to the "fundamental plane" for radio magnetars, this source should have radio emission. Therefore, our results put constraints on the existence of a fundamental plane of magnetar radio emission. We argue that a magnetar's ability to emit radio emission may have little to do with the spin down luminosity and is related to the magnetar's X-ray luminosity. The only necessary condition is a relatively low X-ray luminosity.展开更多

It is shown that both the magnetar and its wind nebula are understandable in the wind braking scenario. The magnetar's rotational energy loss rate is not enough to power the particle luminosity. The required particle luminosity should be about 10^36 erg s^- 1 to 10^38 erg s^-1. It is obtained in three different approaches: considering wind braking of Swift J1834.9-0846; the spectral and spatial observations of the wind nebula; and an empirical upper bound on wind nebula X-ray luminosity. The nebula magnetic field is about 10-4 G. The possible wind nebula of Swift J1834.9-0846 should be a magnetar wind nebula. It is powered by the magnetic energy released from the magnetar.展开更多
