Spin and magnetism in old neutron stars
Monica Colpi, Andrea Possenti, S. B. Popov +1
The thermal, spin and magnetic evolution of neutron stars in the old low mass binaries is first explored. Recycled to very short periods via accretion torques, the neutron stars lo…
Tidal stirring and the origin of dwarf spheroidals in the Local Group
Lucio Mayer, Fabio Governato, Monica Colpi +5
N-Body/SPH simulations are used to study the evolution of dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrrs) entering the dark matter halo of the Milky Way or M31 on plunging orbits. We propose a ne…
Charting the temperature of the Hot Neutron Star in a Soft X-ray Transient
Monica Colpi, Ulrich Geppert, Dany Page +1
We explore the thermal evolution of a neutron star undergoing episodes of intense accretion, separated by long periods of quiescence. By using an exact cooling code we follow in de…
Log N -- Log S distributions of accreting and cooling isolated neutron stars
S. B. Popov, M. Colpi, M. E. Prokhorov +2
We model populations of isolated neutron stars in the Galaxy following their orbital and magneto-rotational evolution. It is shown that accretors become more abundant than coolers…
Isolated Neutron Stars in the Galaxy
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov, M. Colpi +3
In this article we briefly review our recent results on evolution and properties of isolated neutron stars (INSs) in the Galaxy. As the first step we calculate a {\it census} of IN…
