Abstract
We present Chandra, XMM-Newton and RXTE observations of 1WGA J1713.4-3949, a compact source at the center of the galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G347.3-0.5. The X-ray spectrum of the source is well-fitted by the sum of a blackbody component with a temperature of about 0.4 keV plus a power law component with photon index about 4. We found no pulsations down to 4% in the 0.01-0.16 Hz range and down to 25% in the 0.01-128 Hz range. This source resembles other compact central objects (CCOs) in SNRs, and we suggest that 1WGA J1713.4-3949 is the associated neutron star for G347.3--0.5. We also measured the properties of the adjacent radio pulsar PSR J1713-3945 with a 392 ms period and show that it is not associated with 1WGA J1713.4-3949 nor, most probably, with SNR G347.3-0.5 as well.
