We identify `red clump stars' - core helium-burning giants - among 2MASSstars and use them to measure the run of reddening with distance in thedirection of each of the Galactic Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXP). We combinethis with extinction estimates from X-ray spectroscopy to infer distances andfind that the locations of all AXP are consistent with being in Galactic spiralarms. We also find that the 2-10 keV luminosities implied by our distances areremarkably similar for all AXPs, being all around 1.3e35 erg s-1. Furthermore,using our distances to estimate effective black-body emitting radii, we findthat the radii are tightly anti-correlated with pulsed fraction, and somewhatless tightly anti-correlated with black-body temperature. We find no obviousrelationship of any property with the dipole magnetic field strength inferredfrom the spin-down rate.Comment: 38 pages aastex, 10 figures. Accepted for publication in Ap
