Our observations of PSR J1622$-$4950 show a steep spectrum with a spectral index of $-$1.3 $\\pm$ 0.2 in the range of 5.5-45 GHz during its re-activating X-ray outburst in 2017. By comparing the data taken at different epochs, we found significant enhancement in the radio flux density. The spectrum of 1E 1547.0$-$5408 was inverted in the range of 43-95 GHz, suggesting a spectral peak at a few hundred gigahertz. Moreover, we obtained the X-ray and radio data of radio magnetars, PSR J1622$-$4950 and SGR J1745$-$2900, from literature and found two interesting properties. First, radio emission is known to be associated with X-ray outburst but has different evolution. We further found that the rising time of the radio emission is much longer than that of the X-ray during the outburst. Second, the radio magnetars may have double peak spectra at a few GHz and a few hundred GHz. This could indicate that the emission mechanism is different in the cm and the sub-mm bands. These two phenomenons could provide a hint to understand the origin of radio emission and its connection with the X-ray properties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-02-04T07:50:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high frequency radio observations", "psr j1622", "radio emission", "atacama large millimeter/submillimeter array taken", "australia telescope compact array" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
