Abstract
Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters are believed to be magnetars: isolated neutron stars powered by the decay of extremely high magnetic fields. We review some of the main results obtained with \xmm and discuss the prospects for future observations of this small but extremely interesting class of objects.
