 `MAGNETARS', SOFT GAMMA REPEATERS & VERY STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS Robert C. Duncan, University of Texas at Austin
A magnetar's field is strong enough to push material around in the star's interior and crust, leading to the dissipation of a significant amount of magnetic energy during the first ten thousand years.
In fact, one can estimate how strong the field must be for the star to spin down to its observed period (8.0 s) in its observed age (less than 10,000 years, as inferred from observations of the supernova remnant N49 in which it presumably formed).
This is because strong quantum "color" forces between quarks would hold down matter rather than gravity, allowing extremely bright gamma-ray and hard X-ray emissions to come from the star, without losing too much energy to the process of blowing out matter.

When a portion of Robert Lehman's collection was exhibited at the Orangerie in Paris in 1956, it garnered accolades from French critics who might not have expected the scion of an American investment banking family to display such refined taste and robust instincts in the field of fine art.
The collection is particularly strong in paintings of the Italian Renaissance, especially those of the Sienese school, including works by Ugolino da Siena, Simone Martini, Giovanni di Paolo, and the mysterious Osservanza Master.
Since its opening twenty-five years ago, The Robert Lehman Wing has become a leading resource center, particularly for the study of Renaissance culture, through special exhibitions of its own and other materials, the publication of catalogues of the collection, and a specialized library that is open to scholars and students (see Educational Resources).
