cds-question@unistra.frpulsarsmagnetic-fieldsstellar-agesstellar-distanceinfrared-photometryvisible-astronomybroad-band-photometryx-ray-sourcesWe present a catalog of the 26 currently known magnetars and magnetar candidates. We tabulate astrometric and timing data for all catalog sources, as well as their observed radiative properties, particularly the spectral parameters of the quiescent X-ray emission. We show histograms of the spatial and timing properties of the magnetars, comparing them with the known pulsar population, and we investigate and plot possible correlations between their timing, X-ray, and multiwavelength properties. We find the scale height of magnetars to be in the range of 20-31pc, assuming they are exponentially distributed. This range is smaller than that measured for OB stars, providing evidence that magnetars are born from the most massive O stars. From the same fits, we find that the Sun lies ~13-22pc above the Galactic plane, consistent with previous measurements. We confirm previously identified correlations between quiescent X-ray luminosity, L_X_, and magnetic field, B, as well as X-ray spectral power-law indexes, {Gamma} and B, and show evidence for an excluded region in a plot of L_X_ versus {Gamma}. We also present an updated kT versus characteristic age plot, showing that magnetars and high-B radio pulsars are hotter than lower-B neutron stars of similar age. Finally, we observe a striking difference between magnetars detected in the hard X-ray and radio bands; there is a clear correlation between the hard and soft X-ray fluxes, whereas the radio-detected magnetars all have low, soft X-ray flux, suggesting, if anything, that the two bands are anticorrelated.2014ApJS..212....6Ohttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/212/6CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+A/549/A23 : MAGIC map of 1E 2259+586 (Aleksic+, 2013)J/MNRAS/423/1351 : Energy distribution in pulsars (Burke-Spolaor+, 2012)J/ApJ/736/138 : RXTE observations of 4U 0142+61 (Gavriil+, 2011)J/MNRAS/414/1679 : Glitches in the rotation of 102 pulsars (Espinoza+, 2011)J/AZh/88/954 : Geometry of radio pulsar magnetospheres (Malov+, 2011)J/other/PASA/27.64 : Parkes Radio Telescope pulsar timing (Weltevrede+, 2010)J/MNRAS/391/1210 : Characteristics of energetic pulsars (Weltevrede+, 2008)J/A+A/492/923 : Pulsar Timing for Fermi Gamma-ray Telescope (Smith+, 2008)J/A+A/416/1037 : BVRIK Photometry for the field of 4U 0142+61 (Hulleman+, 2004)J/ApJ/615/887 : Localization of SGR 1627-41 & AXP 1E1841-045 (Wachter+, 2004)J/ApJ/563/L49 : X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+586 IR counterpart (Hulleman+, 2001)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/212/6https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/212/6http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/212/6https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/212/6https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/212/6http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/212/6GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/212/6/table9 (Main table)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/212/6/table9?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/212/6/table9?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/212/6/table9?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true15.17975-72.19272222220.0055555555555555566/1468 3333 3633 14305 14606 28830 28915 29090 29097 29116 29118 29532 30245 30259 30607 33115 33328 37930 41814 42173 42206 42215 42397 424447.952274030004205e-20 1.0188844282367877e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/212/6?format=asciiX-rayOpticalInfraredRadiodefaultJ/ApJS/212/6/table9Main tablel_AgeLimit flag on Agemeta.code.error;time.agecharE_Flux?
