Deep Chandra X-ray observation of the isolated black hole OGLE-2011-BLG-0462
Sandro Mereghetti, Lara Sidoli, Gabriele Ponti +1
OGLE-2011-BLG-0462 is an isolated black hole of ~7 solar masses at a distance of 1.5 kpc identified thanks to the astrometric microlensing technique. It is the first specimen disco…
Swift X-Ray and UV Observations of six Gaia Binaries supposedly containing a Neutron Star
B. Sbarufatti, F. Coti Zelati, A. Marino +3
Recent observations have led to the discovery of numerous optically selected binaries containing an undetected component with mass consistent with a compact object (neutron star or…
X-ray observations of the isolated black hole candidate OGLE-2011-BLG-0462 , and other collapsed objects discovered through gravitational microlensing
Sandro Mereghetti, Lara Sidoli, Gabriele Ponti +1
Isolated black holes and neutron stars can be revealed through the observation of long duration gravitational microlensing events. A few candidates have been found in surveys of st…
The birthplace and age of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754
R. P. Mignani, D. Vande Putte, M. Cropper +6
X-ray observations unveiled various types of radio-silent Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs), phenomenologically very diverse, e.g. the Myr old X-ray Dim INS (XDINSs) and the kyr old ma…
The peculiar isolated neutron star in the Carina Nebula - Deep XMM-Newton and ESO-VLT observations of 2XMM J104608.7-594306
Adriana Mancini Pires, Christian Motch, Roberto Turolla +5
While fewer in number than the dominant rotation-powered radio pulsar population, peculiar classes of isolated neutron stars (INSs) -- which include magnetars, the ROSAT-discovered…
VLT/FORS2 observations of the optical counterpart of the isolated neutron star RBS 1774
R. P. Mignani, S. Zane, R. Turolla +5
X-ray observations performed with ROSAT led to the discovery of a group (seven to date) of X-ray dim and radio-silent middle-aged isolated neutron stars (a.k.a. XDINSs), which are…
