Abstract (from CDS):

Radio magnetars are exotic sources noted for their diverse spectrotemporal phenomenology and pulse profile variations over weeks to months. Unusual for radio magnetars, the Galactic Center (GC) magnetar PSR J1745-2900 has been continually active since its discovery in 2013. We monitored the GC magnetar at 4-8 GHz for 6 hr in 2019 August-September using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. During our observations, the GC magnetar emitted a flat fluence spectrum over 5-8 GHz to within 2σ uncertainty. From our data, we estimate a 6.4 GHz period-averaged flux density, 6.4~(240±5)µJy. Tracking the temporal evolution of 6.4, we infer a gradual weakening of GC magnetar activity during 2016-2019 relative to that between 2013 and 2015.5. Typical single pulses detected in our study reveal marginally resolved subpulses with opposing spectral indices, a feature characteristic of radio magnetars but unseen in rotation-powered pulsars. However, unlike in fast radio bursts, these subpulses exhibit no perceptible radio frequency drifts. Throughout our observing span, ≃5 ms scattered pulses significantly jitter within two stable emission components of widths 220 ms and 140 ms, respectively, in the average pulse profile.
