The thermal radiation of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754 observed with Chandra and XMM-Newton
V. Burwitz, F. Haberl, R. Neuhaeuser +3
We present results of the analysis of data collected in 57-ks XMM-Newton and 505-ks Chandra observations of the nearby ~= 120 pc isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754. We confirm m…
Discovery of absorption features in the X-ray spectrum of an isolated neutron star
D. Sanwal, G. G. Pavlov, V. E. Zavlin +1
We observed 1E 1207.4--5209, a neutron star in the center of the supernova remnant PKS 1209--51/52, with the ACIS detector aboard the Chandra X-ray observatory and detected two abs…
Thermal Radiation from Neutron Stars: Chandra Results
G. G. Pavlov, V. E. Zavlin, D. Sanwal
The outstanding capabilities of the Chandra X-ray observatory have greatly increased our potential to observe and analyze thermal radiation from the surfaces of neutron stars (NSs)…
Modeling Neutron Star Atmospheres
V. E. Zavlin, G. G. Pavlov
Models of thermal emission of neutron stars, presumably formed in their atmospheres, are needed to infer the surface temperatures, magnetic fields, chemical composition, and neutro…
XMM-Newton observations of the isolated neutron star RX J0806.4-4123
F. Haberl, V. E. Zavlin
The isolated neutron star RX J0806.4-4123 was observed with XMM-Newton in November 2000. The data from the three EPIC instruments allowed us (i) to derive an improved X-ray positio…
CTI history of the EPIC pn camera
K. Dennerl, U. G. Briel, M. J. Freyberg +3
The pn camera of EPIC is inherently robust against radiation damage effects. Nevertheless, the knowledge of charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) of the pn camera is crucial for obtai…
