Description
Multi-wavelength observations over the last decades proved the existence of observationally very diverse manifestations of isolated NSs (INSs): radio-pulsars, Magnetars, X-ray Dim INSs (XDINSs), high-B rotation powered pulsars, Rotating radio transients (RraTs) , and Central Compact Objects (CCOs). Among them magnetars and XDINSs are the most highly magnetized NSs and they also represent key targets for future polarimetric observations. In this talk I will briefly summarize the main characteristics of the various classes and I will review some perspectives for X-ray polarimetric magnetar observations.
